Investment Thesis

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
