Investment Thesis

Growth Warrior Capital was founded on the belief that the best investors are operators who’ve lived the founder journey. Rather than cold intros and hands-off governance, they bring 20 years of operational experience from actually building and scaling Silicon Valley companies. They measure their impact on portfolio companies’ cap tables, balance sheets, and P&L—not just write checks. Their approach is grounded in the principle that ‘critical problems can’t be solved from 30,000 feet,’ so they provide in-the-trenches support that helps portfolio companies grow 200% faster and achieve 15x the growth of peers.

What Sets Them Apart

  • Operator-led investing: Founder Promise Phelon brings 20 years of Silicon Valley experience including CEO roles, multiple exits, and $120M+ raised
  • Precision Capital model: They target specific ownership levels and focus on value creation through operational expertise rather than legal pro-rata rights
  • Deep industrial and enterprise networks: They can architect hyperscaler partnerships and open doors to strategic buyers
  • Hands-on GTM optimization: They help founders solve 'revenue puzzles' using proven frameworks and metrics rather than generic advice
  • Hunt-based sourcing: They actively search for founders in overlooked sectors (manufacturing, public safety, frontline retail) that Silicon Valley typically ignores
  • Portfolio company results: Fund I companies achieve 200% YoY growth and premium exits through their involvement (e.g., ForceMetrics 205% YoY growth, $22M Series A)
