Investment thesis

Expedite Ventures is an angel network of CTOs and CPOs that backs technical, first-time founders solving real problems, pairing capital with hands-on mentoring drawn from the members' own experience building and scaling technology companies. The group places particular emphasis on supporting underrepresented founders, including female and immigrant entrepreneurs, and encourages engineers to become founders themselves. It shows a strong affinity for developer tools and technology that challenges incumbents, investing in companies across design tools, developer platforms, fintech, travel, and other tech-driven sectors.
