Investment Thesis

Cavalry invests in companies on the path forward to effect positive change. They created the early-stage venture fund they wished had existed when they started their first companies, bringing considerable company building experience (zero to IPO), a network of 250+ well-connected supporters, and a strong track record with Series A follow-on investments from top-tier funds like Accel, Index, Sequoia, and Benchmark. They believe in simplicity, transparency, and being long-term partners without unnecessary bureaucracy.

Upfront, no-bullshit approach - no months of unnecessary due diligence or term renegotiation
Strong focus on ESG and sustainability principles integrated throughout investment lifecycle
