Investment thesis
TheGP positions itself as a venture firm structurally built to invest in two currencies: capital and work. Founded in 2018, it pairs traditional startup funding with months of hands-on support from a bench of operators who previously built companies like Stripe, YouTube, Square, Google, Mozilla, Product Hunt, Retool, DoorDash, Medium, and Robinhood. The firm embeds alongside founders at critical moments, helping grow engineering teams, fill key roles, and accelerate go-to-market efforts. It emphasizes deep, sustained partnership, citing an average of nine months of hands-on collaboration and over a thousand hours invested per portfolio company.
