Farooq Abbasi is the founder and sole general partner of Preface Ventures, an early-stage venture firm that invests $500,000–$2 million in pre-seed and seed rounds, often serving as the first check for technical founders building "Frontier Enterprise" infrastructure software. He focuses on four enterprise themes: software development automation, security orchestration, healthcare data infrastructure, and financial infrastructure, with a heavy concentration in cybersecurity and developer tools. His distinctive thesis centers on backing experienced, repeat, and immigrant technical founders who identify critical infrastructure problems from their own engineering experience, positioning Preface as "The Capital Before Your Story". Notable portfolio companies include Ambient.ai (AI-powered physical security), Endor Labs (open-source security), Knock (notification infrastructure), and Remitly (digital remittances, now public).
