South Park Commons (SPC) is a San Francisco-based venture capital firm and technical community founded in 2016 by former Dropbox executives Ruchi Sanghvi and Aditya Agarwal. The firm uniquely targets the “minus one to zero” phase of company building, focusing on pre-ideation and pre-seed stages where exceptional technical founders define what to build. SPC primarily invests in Seed and pre-seed rounds across sectors including artificial intelligence, enterprise software, deeptech, fintech, healthcare, and developer tools, with geos spanning the United States, India, and Canada. Its standard initial ticket is $400,000 for 7% equity, with a guaranteed $600,000 follow-on reserved for the next round, totaling up to $1M in initial support. Notable portfolio companies include Pilot (SPC’s first unicorn), Render (a cloud platform for developers), Unit21 (fintech security), and Orb (internet billing infrastructure). SPC distinguishes itself as an “anti-incubator” that prioritizes individual talent over specific business ideas, combining capital with a strong community ethos and operational mentorship. The firm has published publicly on its “-1 to 0” philosophy
