Overview

About

35North Ventures invests in visionary founders disrupting fast-growing developing markets. The fund focuses on emerging asset-light businesses with strong growth potential in high-impact sectors. Investments typically occur at Pre-Series A and Series A stages with a disciplined ecosystem designed to foster portfolio company growth and long-term value creation.

Investment Philosophy

Nurture Relentlessly: Go beyond capital by co-building with founders on product, GTM, and growth strategy. Outlier Hunting: Back unconventional teams solving real problems in undercapitalized sectors. Risk with Rigor: Underwrite early-stage risk through deep diligence and asymmetric upside. Thesis-led Investing: Invest based on conviction-led sectoral maps rather than herd behavior. Harvest Patiently: Focus on long-term value creation with structured exits instead of short-term valuation chasing.
