STARTUPS

At GoAhead Ventures, we aim to break the Venture Capital mold! As such, we've created a streamlined process for meeting & investing in companies starting with a 1-way video pitch. All 3 of our managing partners review every submission and all companies that we invest in will go through this funnel so as to keep everyone on an equal playing field. From this pitch to an ultimate decision we keep our process to ~6 days.
