Investment thesis
Ritual invests at the very earliest stages, backing founders who believe innovation comes from consistency, discipline, and commitment to their vision. The firm writes small collaborative first checks of $100K to $500K and positions itself as an early believer and first partner, helping founders with brand, positioning, and go-to-market. It emphasizes being founder-friendly and value-add, staying 'in your corner, not in your kitchen.' The firm points to a track record of backing seed-stage companies that later reached $1B+ valuations, including names like Figma, Flexport, Lattice, Kong, and PagerDuty.
