Stride.VC operates on a philosophy of conviction-driven investing with a focus on meaningful capital deployment at critical inflection points. They emphasize substance over presentation, favoring working prototypes over polished pitches, and take a pragmatic approach that respects entrepreneurial journeys while remaining operationally hands-on where it matters most.
What Sets Them Apart
- Selective capital deployment - 'easy to approach but tough to get money from'
- Prototype-focused due diligence rather than presentation-based evaluation
- Strategic timing of investment at critical stages in company development
- Board involvement structured as collaborative working sessions ('whiteboard meetings')
- Balanced operational involvement - hands-on when needed, hands-off when appropriate
- Portfolio includes successful exits (Zoopla, Deliveroo, Dailymotion) alongside emerging companies
