# Helping you build a connected web for all of us.
Gm. We’re 6MV. A web3 native collective of investors, founders, and builders, partnering with innovators to create the user-owned internet. Building something special?
## By builders, for builders.
6MV was born from a love of web3 in practice and principle, founded and run by a group who both see the potential and actively work to bring projects to life every day. That makes us incredible partners to have on your journey.
The best way to actualize the user-owned web is to enable the people who are creating it – with capital, practical support, research & insights and connections. We put the builders’ needs at the forefront of everything we do.
The user-owned web is built on community – we’ve built them from scratch and can help you do the same.
We embrace the user-owned potential of web3 because we believe it’s inevitable. We are willing to take risks on opportunities and people others don’t understand.
We’re proud to support the teams building the user-owned web, from infrastructure to applications, protocols to companies. Shaping the future takes multitudes. Curious about how we choose who we work with? Check out our Investment Criteria.
## Our starting lineup
We are founders and operators with deep business and technical expertise. We have deep empathy and understanding of where our portfolio companies are now as we have built and scaled companies.
