Ripple Ventures is an early-stage venture fund focused on B2B SaaS (software as a service) startups across North America earning at least $500K ARR. We are an operators-first investor, working closely with our portfolio companies through the good and the bad, every day.On top of the traditional investment duties (sourcing, analyzing, closing), I'm helping build out our venture platform (fellowship, content, corporate network) and working closely with our founders on high-impact projects (growth, marketing, strategy, fundraising).
