Investment thesis
Skyfall Ventures invests at the earliest stages, typically pre-seed and seed, and is willing to engage even at a company's initiation phase before product or product-market fit exists. The firm is often the first institutional investor on the cap table and is comfortable with high uncertainty provided the ambition is large. It takes a hands-on but non-intrusive approach, supporting founders with early hires, fundraising, go-to-market strategy, and general counsel while letting founders lead. It seeks high-agency teams that think long-term, move quickly, and are relentlessly focused on the problem they are solving.
