BoxGroup was founded in 2007 by David Tisch, grandson of entrepreneur Laurence A. Tisch, and Adam Rothenberg.[2]

BoxGroup invests in the pre-seed and seed rounds of financing for early-stage companies. One of the financing companies they have invested in is Ramp (company), a corporate card start-up.

In October 2019, BoxGroup closed two external LP-backed funds totaling $165 million.[6]

BoxGroup was among the top three most active United States–based micro venture capital firms in 2014.[7]

In 2025, BoxGroup raised $550 million across two new funds.[8]
