Investment Thesis

GoAhead Ventures believes in investing in people, not business pitches. They explicitly state: “We invest in people not business scripts, we dislike that venture capital has become mired in screening cold emails. We want to see and hear you.” This philosophy is reflected in their streamlined 1-way video pitch process where all three managing partners review every submission equally, aiming to break the traditional VC mold and create an equal playing field for all founders regardless of their network or background.

What Sets Them Apart

1-way video pitch process reviewed by all 3 managing partners - no cold email screening
Exceptionally fast decision timeline: ~6 days from submission to potential offer
Sector-agnostic and geographically agnostic investment approach
Equal playing field philosophy - all companies go through the same funnel
Small, lean 3-person team that met over 3,000 founders in last 12 months
