If picking the next Uber were easy, Mark Suster of Upfront Ventures would have done it. Sadly, when it comes to investing, there’s no secret sauce for picking sure-fire winners, so we can’t help you there.

At Venture Catalyst, LLC, what we can do, however, is support your efforts to source, vet, and assess the potential of interesting, early-stage investment prospects within their competitive landscape. We gather, analyse, and interpret the information needed to take the guess work out of pipeline development and contribute to informed decision-making.

With deep foundational knowledge in artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), blockchain/crypto, digital media and entertainment, and financial technology (fintech), and access to market resources and international networks, we take an informed approach to investment research and due diligence. Our experience in emerging and advanced economies has led us to form advantageous partnerships with stakeholders in ecosystems which are nurturing the world’s most innovative entrepreneurs.

By seeking out promising founding teams who interweave the principles of sustainable, ethical, inclusive growth into their core business, we aim to promote early-stage investment prospects with the potential to produce attractive returns.

Our knowledge of alternative investment principles can be geared to diverse risk-return profiles and impact outcomes. We can provide guidance on the incorporation of gender lens, blended finance, and other innovative financial principles into your investment thesis.
