Question 1

Who can apply for funding from PP Ventures?

Accepted Answer

We back founders building category-defining companies from pre-seed through Series B, primarily across AI, fintech, climate, healthcare, deep tech, enterprise SaaS, and consumer technology. We invest globally, with a preference for teams with at least one technical co-founder.

Question 2

What stages do you invest in?

Accepted Answer

We lead and participate in rounds from Pre-Seed to Series B. Our sweet spot is Seed and Series A, where our operational support and network have the greatest impact on a company's trajectory.

Question 3

What is your typical cheque size?

Accepted Answer

Initial cheques typically range from $500K to $8M, depending on stage and round construction. We reserve significant follow-on capital — roughly 2x our initial commitment — for companies that continue to perform.

Question 4

How long does the process take?

Accepted Answer

From application to term sheet, our process typically takes two to four weeks. We move quickly once we've committed to an opportunity, often issuing a term sheet within ten business days of the first meeting.

Question 5

Do you lead rounds?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We lead the majority of our Seed and Series A investments and are comfortable setting terms, leading diligence, and anchoring a syndicate. We also participate as a strong follow-on partner in rounds led by others.

Question 6

Can international startups apply?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Roughly 40% of our portfolio is headquartered outside the United States. We invest globally and have an active resident network across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

Question 7

What do you look for in a pitch?

Accepted Answer

Clarity of vision, a sharp understanding of the problem, evidence of early traction or a credible path to it, and a team with the conviction to see it through. We'd rather see an honest assessment of risk than a polished narrative that avoids it.

Question 8

Do you sign NDAs before reviewing a pitch?

Accepted Answer

As a matter of policy, we do not sign NDAs before an initial review, consistent with standard venture capital practice. We take confidentiality seriously and handle all submissions with discretion.
