WHAT WE LOOK FOR

We invest in Pre-Series A or Series A companies.


We invest in highly scalable digital platforms.


We have invested in seed stage and Series B, but these are rare.


We only invest in tech companies on an equity basis.


We have invested in hardware but this is extremely rare.

PROCESS - FOUNDER FOCUS

Raiven helps founders fly by vetting for great leadership.

  • Our investors entrust us to create high value
  • We focus on founder leadership in building clear paths to positive cashflow
  • We invest when we are comfortable in tech, the people and the numbers
