Investment Thesis

Simsan Ventures believes in democratizing venture capital by investing in people’s visions and backing diverse, underrepresented founders from the earliest stages of company formation. They critique traditional VC as operating as ‘closed social circles’ and aim to revolutionize the venture community by ‘offering unbiased opportunities and support to founders.’ Their approach prioritizes early-stage backing at concept and origination phases, believing this is where ‘true difference and change can only be made’ and enables founders to later attract institutional investors and represent their own ecosystems.

What Sets Them Apart

Geographic specialization in 'misprized' markets - Europe, India, and South Korea - with established hubs and local partnerships in each region
Explicit commitment to diversity: prioritizing women, ethnic minorities, immigrants, LGBTQIA+, and socially/economically underprivileged founders
Founders themselves - GPs bootstrapped Fund 1, understand startup challenges firsthand
Global network across academia, industry, large corporations, and government enabling cross-border deal flow
Long-term founder support through fundraising strategy and subsequent round positioning
Speed and transparency in investment decisions with holistic due diligence approach
Portfolio expansion support into multiple geographies (Europe, India, South Korea)
