Sure Ventures is a Silicon Valley-based early-stage venture capital firm founded by Gopi Rangan with a mission to 'enable peace of mind for all individuals and businesses.' The firm invests primarily in pre-seed and seed stage startups in insurtech and adjacent sectors—including wealth management, mental health, aging, and care—backing visionary entrepreneurs who use advanced technologies to seize the greatest opportunities in finance and social development. Rangan draws on over a decade of corporate venture experience at USAA and Intel Capital, and the firm's thesis is rooted in the belief that access to financial safety nets like insurance has a transformative societal impact. Sure Ventures focuses on companies across the insurance value chain—distribution, underwriting, claims, and infrastructure—as well as broader fintech and enterprise software. The firm typically leads or participates in seed and Series A rounds in US-based startups, with occasional follow-on into Series B, and supports portfolio companies with hands-on strategic guidance and its extensive Silicon Valley network.
