How are you involved in rounds?

  • We prefer to lead or co-lead, but also can join rounds as a supportive partner.

  • The inception stage, which we define as pre-incorporation, pre-product, and pre-traction. Basically pre-anything. We are backing exceptional teams.

Where do you invest

How is Ripple providing something unique to my cap table alongside other great funds?

  • Being inception stage investors, we are the most financially and mission aligned with founders across the lifecycle of your business.
  • We open customer doors that otherwise would be inaccessible through our operator network and corporate LP network.
  • We are taste makers to the top funds in the world with a 70%+ success rate of externally led rounds across our portfolio.
  • We underwrite technical risk and long timelines without flinching. We move fast with conviction before others.
  • You're one of 30 companies, not 300 in our portfolio. Our team is directly accessible and our investment in you is always meaningful to our fund.
  • We bring the best talent pipelines to your company through our deep university networks, venture partners, and recruitment partners.
