StageDotO is an early stage investment fund actively identifying pre-Series A companies with energetic entrepreneurs driven by world-changing ideas. We add ten companies to our portfolio every two years. StageDotO is a well-rounded, highly successful partnership team led by experienced and proven entrepreneurs and investors. We’ve celebratedmultiple successful tech startup exits and managed a successful small-cap hedge fund, generating top quartile returns for over 10 years. We’re lead by a philosophy that company building is the most critical element to achieving startup success. We believe it’s generally missing from today’s early-stage venture investing environment. StageDotO delivers this through day to day involvement that leverages a combined 40+ years of startup and investing experience. Co-investment and pro-rata rights for limited partners allow continued investing in the best-performing companies.
