Investment approach

Thesis
RiSo Capital backs founders who have the grit and conviction to build enduring, globally relevant companies. We know from experience that early-stage technology ventures carry real risk — and that the best way to reduce that risk is not to move faster, but to know more before you commit. We invest only after deep vetting — in companies that have already validated their technology, won paying customers, and demonstrated the early proof of a scalable model. This due diligence is not transactional. It happens over time, through sustained engagement with a trusted network of incubators, accelerators, and domain experts. What we are ultimately investing in is people — founders with the vision to see around corners, the discipline to focus, and the resilience to adapt. We back teams after we get to know them — and once we commit, we go deep.Source (opens in a new tab)
