Banana Capital is a venture capital firm that invests globally across all sectors from Pre-seed to pre-IPO. Our initial check size is $250k-$750k, usually at the Pre-seed and Seed stage, with the ability to follow-on over time (up to $10m). We’re not afraid to be a founder’s first investor, and welcome opportunities to come in later.

We invest in:

  • Category-defining products with differentiated distribution channels and incumbents that are un-incentivized to react

  • Unique, capital efficient business models with clear revenue prospects and hints of large markets

  • Early evidence of sustainable competitive advantages

  • Ethical business practices, sound governance, and teams who take a stand for what’s right

We ask ourselves:

  • “Would we be proud to tell our kids we were early backers of this company/team?”

  • “Would I want to work for this founder or company for the next 10 years?”

What we bring:

  • We move fast

  • Act on our own conviction, and

  • Help spread the word
