Innovestor was founded in 2014 to solve a very tangible problem for technology entrepreneurs: lack of capital for growing the business. At the same time, we had identified an increasing demand among private investors to gain access to promising early-stage technology startups. Our first product, an online co-investment platform, was developed and brought to market to address this opportunity. The business gained traction, and our community grew. We were able to attract ambitious founders and smart investors to the platform. Meanwhile, we had reached another conclusion: a more impactful way to support founders is by backing the lifecycle of a company, not just a single round of funding. For achieving that at meaningful scale, the most suitable model is a VC fund.
