GoingVC Partners

What is GoingVC Partners?

GoingVC Partners is an investment fund focused on supporting exceptional early-stage companies and founders, particularly in the Pre-Seed and Seed stages. With headquarters located at 845 Market St Suite 450, San Francisco, CA 94103, they specialize in HealthTech, Fitness, Medical Devices, Hospital Services, and Pharmaceutical sectors, although they maintain a sector-agnostic approach.

Their investment ranges from $50,000 to $200,000, with a sweet spot of around $100,000 per investment. As an angel network, GoingVC Partners forms syndicates rather than leading deals, leveraging their extensive global network to source, track, diligence, and support startups not only in technology epicenters but also around the world. Their global network is made up of over 3,000 investors, operators, and domain experts from 15 countries and 80 cities, most of which are based in the US, although they occasionally invest in European, Asian, and LatAm markets.

GoingVC Partners is known for investing more than capital; they provide ongoing portfolio company support that starts during fundraising and extends beyond just financial investment. Their support includes investor introductions, customer and expert connections, assistance with hiring top talent through their network of qualified professionals, and marketing exposure through their newsletters and followers. As an entity, they leverage their partnership with the professional development program GoingVC, which trains professionals in venture capital, enhancing the VC careers of its members and expanding the network of founders and investors, thereby amplifying their investment impact.

The themes of interest for GoingVC Partners include DevOps/DevTools, Marketplaces, Enterprise software, Tech-enabled services, and DeepTech. They aim to participate in the growth of companies they invest in by reserving follow-on capital for future rounds.

What they say:

We invest in Pre-Seed and Seed Stage deals across the US and occasionally abroad if the opportunity is compelling and we believe we can provide value to the startup. We are sector agnostic. As of now, GoingVC Partners will not lead any deal, and will target forming syndicates of a total of $50k-200k.
