Who We Are

Operators first.
Investors second.

We've been in your shoes. Before starting Liquid Ventures, our team built and scaled companies, led engineering teams, and worked through the chaos of early-stage startups.

That experience shapes how we invest. We're not suits who've never shipped a product. We've dealt with the 2am outages, the failed fundraises, the pivots that actually worked.

When we back you, we roll up our sleeves. Need help with your GTM strategy? Introductions to enterprise buyers? Advice on hiring your first VP? We've done it all. And we'll do it alongside you.

How We Partner With Founders

1

First Meeting

Send us your deck. If there's a fit, we'll have a 30-minute call within a week. No months of due diligence before we even talk.

2

Deep Dive

We'll spend time understanding your product, market, and team. We talk to customers, try the product, and stress-test assumptions together.

3

Decision

We make investment decisions fast. Typically 2-3 weeks from first meeting to term sheet. We respect your time.

4

Long-Term Partnership

We're in it for the journey. Board seats, follow-on investments, and genuine support through every stage of growth.
