Investment thesis

Snatched Ventures invests at the early and early-growth stage in DeepTech startups building breakthrough technologies capable of creating new categories and reshaping industries around sustainable corporate innovation. The firm operates across six investment thematics and offers founders a hands-on approach backed by a network of 150+ global corporations, venture and growth investors, sovereign funds, and family offices for sourcing, portfolio support, and exits. It applies an AI-enabled process via the licensed Jolt.Ninja platform, a proprietary '5P' framework, and '4Fs' underwriting filters — including a 10% ownership minimum, at least $1M revenue, 50%+ gross margins, a 0.25x cash conversion score, and a 3x revenue-to-capex ratio.
