Our team is your team.

Inspired by a commitment to New York City tech and the founders who bring it to life, Brad Svrluga and Ben Sun launched Primary in 2015 to build a different type of seed firm. With a mission to maximize impact, Primary has steadily built the most experienced and dynamic team in the seed landscape, anchored by the largest portfolio impact staff in the industry.

We partner intimately on the very hard work of companies’ earliest stages, and we are constantly looking for new ways to expand our impact, build new capabilities, and continue to set the bar for just how impactful an investor can be. When we invest, we invest with all we’ve got.

We've always been exclusively focused on New York City. This market, rich in talent and close with the dozens of industries anchored here, drives an enduring, disruptive startup community. By grounding ourselves here, we are able to build a critical mass of networks and talent for our portfolio and its related orbits.
