Gambit Ventures

About Gambit Ventures

Gambit Ventures was formed to establish a foothold in the ever-growing landscape of both digital media and mobile by partnering with standout tech entrepreneurs. We back exceptional founders with a strong, product-oriented mindset who are looking to build a large, sustainable enterprise. Our firsthand experience allows us to offer capital, tactical, and strategic guidance, as well as access to a powerful business network that is invaluable to early-stage companies. This immersive approach to investing in our partners is the special sauce that makes Gambit unique from traditional venture capital firms. Our team members have founded or co-founded 7 companies, helped run 4 companies, have been responsible for exits exceeding eight figures, and currently serve as senior employees at companies valued over $1B, collectively. We primarily make early-stage investments in digital media and mobile technology companies in the New York City area. Our team understands what it takes to turn an innovative idea into a company and turn a company into a market-transforming business. Beyond having talented entrepreneurs and compelling technology, this success requires investors with commitment, awareness, and above all, hands-on experience. It requires investors who have stood in the same entrepreneurial shoes and started companies from scratch on a leap of faith. It requires investors who are willing to work shoulder-to-shoulder and provide the right balance of strategic guidance, mentorship, and operating leverage to their partners.
