Investment thesis

Punch Capital is an early-stage venture capital firm on a mission to become the go-to funding source for the rare, unicorn-breed immigrant founder. The firm backs top first- and second-generation immigrant founders building B2B companies in the US, offering pre-seed and seed investment alongside hands-on support. As immigrants themselves, the team understands the challenges of building companies in a foreign land with no connections, capital, or support, and aims to power top founders toward value creation through their knowledge and networks. Punch Capital has co-invested alongside General Catalyst, Kleiner Perkins, and Khosla Ventures, and counts portfolio companies that have gone on to raise Series A rounds led by Union Square Ventures and Insight Partners.
