Ripple Ventures believes in partnering with the best founders who have unique insights and advantages in their markets. They position themselves as first institutional investors, typically entering at pre-revenue and pre-product stages. Their core commitment is to be ‘one of the most involved and helpful investors on the cap table,’ emphasizing a hands-on, operator-focused approach rather than passive capital provision.
What Sets Them Apart
- Hands-on capital providers with founder-friendly round dynamics, not 'cold and calculated' like typical early-stage VCs
- Active involvement from day one - facilitating customer introductions, GTM support, and hiring assistance
- Independent thinkers willing to lead when other firms shy away or wait for others
- Extended support beyond investment decision - founders describe them as 'extension of your team' and 'another co-founder'
- Strong network access to top-tier US investors and established portfolio company community
- 'Give first' mentality - providing value and connections before and after investment
- Operating expertise in financial planning, board management, FP&A, and strategic decision-making
