Before you pitch

Generous Ventures does not invest inWe typically look for companies that are not playing the "war chest"/land grab strategy in a highly competitive market, one that will require high capital intensivity or deeply-funded acquisition strategies. (e.g. 15-minute grocery delivery, Pacaso for X, Neobanks for specific regions, Web3 Marketplaces, generative AI).
