Our Investment
Process
What would you ask about what you do?
We make 6-7 high-conviction investments per year, writing $2-10M checks primarily in Series A rounds (with select seed and Series B deals). We love backing founders with relentless ambition and who are ready to scale their startups with early traction into companies that can go the distance.
Why does Renegade invest in only 20
companies per fund?
Partnership is our product. We don't just write checks, we jump in with unwavering commitment to help you build your company, on your terms. We limit our portfolio to 20 outstanding companies per fund so we can provide bespoke support that measurably increases your chances of success, particularly in people operations and strategic guidance.
How do you work with decision scientist
Annie Duke?
Annie has been a critical part of our team since day zero. We partner with her to "watch the game tapes". We track and analyze our investment decisions to identify patterns, reduce bias, and continuously improve our judgment. We don't live in our own myths. We leverage data and rigorous analysis to build a higher quality, de-biased process that gets better with each investment.
What kind of founders does Renegade partner with?
We back founders with relentless ambition who are tackling problems that matter and building companies to last. We are drawn to leaders who want to do meaningful work, value deep collaboration and are in it for the long haul alongside us.
How hands-on are you post-investment?
Once we back you, you have our full attention and steady commitment. Partnership is our product. We specialize in helping founders navigate the critical transition from viable startup to vital company, offering everything from people operations support to strategic guidance. Our job is to save you from unforced errors, help you see around corners, and clear obstacles from your path.
What does your investment process look like?
We move fast when we see the right founders and compelling opportunities. As a founder-led firm with just two equal partners as GPs, our decision making is streamlined. We can make decisions quickly while staying committed for the long haul. Our work with Annie has laid the groundwork to let us act decisively when the opportunity is right. Our process is designed to give you clarity quickly while allowing us to develop genuine conviction. We focus on understanding your vision, market opportunity, and how we can best support you during your company's most consequential growth phase.
We believe early, partner deeply, and offer unshakable conviction.

What we know,
we share
A person who defies convention with purpose and compassion; someone who challenges the status quo not to burn it down, but to build something better in its place. A renegade is fiercely independent, clear-eyed in conviction, and grounded in emotional intelligence. They move through the world with audacity, but lead with care. Their rebellion is principled. Their power is human.
