Investment thesis
Trestle Partners invests solely in pre-Series A and Series A SaaS businesses, offering flexible capital designed for founders who want to grow responsibly and maintain control rather than following the traditional high-growth VC path. The firm targets companies with strong product-market fit, at least $2mm+ in recurring subscription revenue, high gross margins, low customer concentration, strong retention, capital efficiency, and durable competitive moats. Trestle argues that oversized VC funds have inflated early-stage rounds and created dependence on unrealistic growth expectations, and it positions itself as an alternative that lets founders hit milestones while keeping their options open.
