Michael Lisovetsky is a General Partner at MAGIC Fund, a venture capital firm, and a serial entrepreneur with three exits who previously founded companies like Skylight and HomeSwipe. His investment thesis focuses on pre-seed and seed-stage companies within the fund's $30 million portfolio, which is dedicated to "founders backing founders". While specific check sizes and lead/follow behavior are not explicitly detailed in available sources, the fund targets early-stage ventures where founders typically lead investments. Notable portfolio connections include his own ventures Zurp, a consumer fintech credit card platform, and JUICE, a digital marketing agency, alongside his investor role in Bloom Credit and advisory work at Synthesia. Lisovetsky distinguishes his viewpoint by emphasizing that venture capital is only suitable for opportunities with billion-dollar markets capable of scaling rapidly, contrasting them with businesses that rely on bootstrapping. He argues that entrepreneurs must be willing to give up equity and board control to pursue a 10-year timeline if they choose the VC route over bootstrapping.
