Unicorn founders in your corner.

Our LPs are founders who have built decacorn and unicorn companies. We invest at Series B and give our rockstar portfolio founders direct access to our LPs’ hard-earned judgment, relationships, and networks.

Purpose-built for Series B

At Series B, another check isn’t the edge. Knowing who to call—and having them answer—is.

When the stakes are high, we connect you with a leader who can change the outcome: a founder who has faced the same decision, talent who can help build the next stage, or a customer, partner, or board member who can open the right door.

The right leader at the right moment.

A decade hosting unicorn founders

For more than ten years, our team has brought YC founders into candid, off-the-record conversations with unicorn and decacorn builders.

Today, those conversations continue through RippleTalks, reaching a community of 10,000+ venture-backed founders and creating relationships that extend far beyond each fireside.

RippleTalks Ventures grew from that community—and from the trust built around the table.
