Investment thesis
Galileo Ventures invests in emerging founders at the pre-seed and seed stage, writing checks of up to $500k, often as one of the first backers. The firm believes exceptional founders can create entirely new markets and is not deterred by first-time founders. It focuses on companies building radically new products across AI, software, hardware, and deeptech, and invests on a multi-sector, founder-led basis. Galileo both leads rounds and co-invests alongside leading global VCs, offering follow-on funding support and flexible terms. Its application process requires no introductions and no cut-off dates, with personalized feedback given to every applicant.
