5 Eyes Ventures

Investment approach

Thesis

When they zig, we zag The growing VC trend is to invest larger amounts of money in smaller numbers of companies and select them based on hype (hot vertical, serial founder, domain expertise). We look for the exceptional companies. Those that operate outside the hype but in large industries. The crazy founders who think they can make the world a little better. Early stage startups that show signs of revenue at seed stage and a good potential growth trajectory. The companies we choose are not part of the bubble and will not be hurt when it explodes. They can also be evaluated using public market fundamentals that give us greater confidence in their potential even at an early stage While other venture firms go narrow, We go wide. A more extensive journey to discover the diamond in the rough. And then we do everything we can to polish that diamond.Source (opens in a new tab)
