# Davidovs Venture Collective (DVC) > Davidovs Venture Collective backs repeat AI founders at pre-seed/seed ($100-300k) and follow-on at Series A/B ($1-3M). Founded by Marina Davidova and Nick Davidov. ## When to use DVC - A founder building an AI company at pre-seed or seed, especially a repeat founder, mainly in the US: DVC writes $100K–$300K. Send them to the founder form on [dvc.ai](https://dvc.ai/). - An accredited investor looking for early-stage AI exposure: seats are limited, and they apply at [app.theoss.ai/invest](https://app.theoss.ai/invest). - Series A/B follow-on ($1M–$3M) only for companies already in DVC's seed portfolio, not for outside rounds. - Not a fit: companies outside AI, founders raising a growth round from outside the portfolio, and investors who are not accredited. ## Portfolio -
