Investment thesis
Foster Ventures is an early-stage, founder-first fund focused exclusively on B2B enterprise SaaS. It backs founders from the earliest stages—pre-seed through Series A—often supporting teams with only an idea and a clear value proposition by helping build the MVP, achieve product-market fit, and shape GTM strategy. Operating as a global fund, it supports founders worldwide building global products. Beyond capital, the firm positions itself as an extended team, providing mentorship through a network of experienced advisors and assistance with design partners, customer introductions, hiring, customer success, finance operations, upsell strategy, international expansion, and further VC introductions.
