EV·VC

Entropy Ventures (EV) is Hartford Lab’s venture capital arm.
EV was founded and is run by Andrew Hartford. Fund I (vintage 2018) is an angel fund that operates: (1) to fuel our own ventures AND (2) as both original capital & architectural adviser (YC- inspired) to founders working on companies which (i) fall within the Revitalizing America program architecture AND (ii) satisfy our value framework. |

In terms of our criteria (“value framework”) for considering investees: we require a ‘6 out of 6’ score (self-determined-but-binary) across the following 3 dimensions: importance socially, economically and technologically speaking, over the short term and the long term.
Our overall (pirate ship) thesis is that “$ can be extracted where value is made”, and also that you should only fund a project with (1) unique founders that have a detailed vision of the future generally, as well as (2) a clear orientation as to what important/ value-creating functions the company’s products/ services will provide as part of that vibrant future.
We look forward to empowering brave and brilliant founders, and to the journey of forging a collective family playing its part in enabling that better tomorrow.
