Investment thesis
RiSo Capital pursues a 'conviction over speculation' approach, investing only after extensive vetting conducted over time through a network of incubators, accelerators, and domain experts. The firm targets early-stage startups that have completed angel funding, built a core solution with lead customers, and shown proof of recurring revenue, and are now ready to scale. It concentrates on verticals it knows deeply—AI, cloud and big data; IoT, robotics and 5G; mobility and cleantech; and B2B/B2B2C enterprise software—where it aims to add value beyond capital. Ultimately it invests in people: resilient, focused, visionary founders building enduring, globally relevant companies.
