What makes
Carbide Ventures
different

We are a group of entrepreneurs who have the experience of building multiple unicorns. We bring in expertise that covers all major functions including, go-to-market, product, technology and finance. We have been in the trenches and know a little about the $0 to $100M+ journey.

We have worked with some of the leading VCs and know what we appreciated most about them, and what we did not. We like to partner with entrepreneurs and provide any support they find helpful.
