Investment Thesis

GSF operates as a ‘founders for founders’ platform that democratizes access to early-stage capital, mentorship, and networks. Founded in 2012, they believe in empowering disruptive founders with their first organized cheque, providing not just capital but also strategic guidance, industry connections, and community learning. Their approach emphasizes the belief that ‘amazing founders sometimes don’t have access to equally exceptional talent and mentorship,’ driving their mission to create a more supportive environment for early-stage entrepreneurs.
