Description
GoAhead Ventures positions itself as a counterculture to traditional venture capital, aiming to break the mold of slow, process-heavy fundraising. Founders submit a 1-way video pitch that is reviewed by all three managing partners, and the firm commits to delivering a decision in roughly 6 days, with signable SAFEs and no termsheets. GoAhead invests $500K-$1M per deal, focuses on pre-seed and seed stage companies across all technology sectors and geographies, and is flexible in leading, co-leading, or following rounds. The firm manages a fund of $250M+, completes 20+ deals per year, and has deep connections in the US and Japan with over 10 years in operation. It also runs a GoAhead Scouts program for students and recent graduates interested in breaking into the VC ecosystem.
