Investment thesis
RiSo Capital pursues a conviction-driven, deeply researched approach to early-stage investing, prioritizing thorough due diligence over speed. It invests in startups that have completed angel funding, built a core solution with lead customers, and demonstrated recurring revenue, and are ready to scale operations and revenue. The firm concentrates on verticals it knows intimately — AI, cloud and big data; IoT, robotics and 5G; mobility and cleantech; and B2B / B2B2C enterprise solutions — where its operators-turned-investors team can add value beyond capital. It emphasizes backing resilient, focused founders and going deep once it commits, leveraging a network of incubators, accelerators, and domain experts.
