Graph Ventures

What is Graph Ventures?

Graph Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm headquartered in the USA and founded in 2011.

They specialize in a broad array of industries, including Software (Web, Marketplace, SaaS), PropTech, Media, Education, Agrotech, Business Solutions, FinTech, Retail, Entertainment, CleanTech, AI, HealthTech, Blockchain, Gaming, Analytics, Cloud Services, Developer Tools, Future of Work, Impact, Medical Devices, Robotics, Aerospace, Real Estate, Healthcare, Mobility, Online Social, Consumer, and Woman-Focused sectors.

Since its inception, Graph Ventures has backed over 300 teams, and in its latest fund, 70% of the portfolio included at least one woman or BIPOC founder, with more than a third of investments located outside the US. Their investment strategy includes amounts ranging from $5,000 to $50,000, with a 'sweet spot' of $25,000, typically at the Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A funding stages, and they have a particular emphasis on supporting companies in Latin America.

Graph Ventures focuses on products and services that address real-world challenges and have potential for exponential growth, primarily preferring to engage with passionate teams across various domains, rather than middling products, middleware, or those with purely local ambitions.

They position themselves as an early-stage fund for founders, by founders, and they are actively involved founders and operators themselves, empathizing with the challenges of starting a venture.

They offer support on fundraising, growth, product development, and international expansion, sometimes including backchannel assistance to close funding rounds, sharing scaling tactics, and developing partnerships. The investor's commitment is to pay it forward by supporting entrepreneurs through their most challenging problems, with a claim that their primary motivation continues to be supporting the journey of other entrepreneurs.
