Banana Capital is a venture capital firm that invests globally across all sectors from Pre-seed to pre-IPO. Our initial check size is $250k-$750k, usually at the Pre-seed and Seed stage, with the ability to follow-on over time (up to $10m). We’re not afraid to be a founder’s first investor, and welcome opportunities to come in later.
We invest in:
Category-defining products with differentiated distribution channels and incumbents that are un-incentivized to react
Unique, capital efficient business models with clear revenue prospects and hints of large markets
Early evidence of sustainable competitive advantages
Ethical business practices, sound governance, and teams who take a stand for what’s right
We ask ourselves:
“Would we be proud to tell our kids we were early backers of this company/team?”
“Would I want to work for this founder or company for the next 10 years?”
What we bring:
We move fast
Act on our own conviction, and
Help spread the word
