Investment Thesis
Folklore Ventures is a ‘long-range ambition machine’ that believes in backing founders from pre-product and pre-revenue stages through to scale. As former founders and builders themselves, they understand the uninsulated journey of startups and position themselves as ‘the investors we wish we had’ - acting as a tight-knit team, coach, and long-term partner rather than traditional hands-off investors. They emphasize being ‘eyes wide open, not fingers crossed’ in their investment approach.
