Who we back and why
Brave Bear Ventures backs early startups in fintech, AI, robotics, gaming, and ecommerce. Sectors we understand and where we bring more than capital. Most deals we join has already been vetted by angel groups or VCs first.
We look for a vision and mission you can explain clearly in under a minute, at least one full-time founder, paying customers, and a plan to scale to $100M+ in revenue within five years.
How we back founders
🤝 Co-investing with angel groups
We mostly join rounds that trusted angel groups or VCs have already reviewed.
🔗 Introductions that matter
We can connect you with potential customers, talented employees and follow-on investors within our network.
💬 A straight sounding board
When a pricing call or a key hire gets hard, you get an honest second opinion fast.
🌎 Outside the usual hubs
We back strong founders wherever they build, not only in the cities that get most of the headlines and capital.
🎯 Fewer deals, real attention
We make only four investments a year, so every founder in the portfolio gets our time.
