Great Oaks Venture Capital

About Great Oaks Venture Capital

We are one of the most active Seed investors in New York. We partner with talented, focused founders fixing societal, business, and consumer problems by leveraging technology. Typically we invest between $50,000 and $500,000 in Seed or Series A financings. The majority of our investments are based in New York, NY, and San Francisco, CA, though geography is not a limitation in our investment process, including international. The Great Oaks team collectively has decades of experience investing in over 200 companies from the earliest stage. We have an extensive network throughout the United States comprised of leading tech founders, peer venture investors, and specific industry specialists. We leverage our network and experiences in early-stage investing to help each and every portfolio company achieve its full potential. Our goal is to help founders grow their businesses rapidly and attract growth financing. We work most closely with founders ahead of their Series A financings when they are attempting to find product-market fit and develop relationships with investors. We align ourselves with founders to help negotiate and secure the right growth investors and board members for the lifetime of the business. We know that entrepreneurs build great companies, not VCs. Our goal is to help and support founders and ensure that their businesses develop sustainably in their early days.
