Fund Mission

Imaguru Ventures mission is to give tech founders access to the right tools and resources so they are able to build extraordinary things.

We're expecting more from technology.

Market Fit

We invest at the pre-seed/seed stage in innovative tech startups most commonly in B2B SaaS, AI/ML, fintech, healthtech and deeptech.

As a community-driven VC fund, we give our portfolio access to the engaged tech community of 12k+ talented founders and engineers where they can find top-notch talents and entrepreneurship expertise.

Founders are terrific visionaries. They can see a future for their product or service but they often struggle with the realities of running a business. We provide hands-on support to these founders via Imaguru’s mentoring and learning programs.

Women-owned

Research by BCG shows that the average investment in companies founded or co-founded by women was half that of what is raised by only male-founded companies. Despite the funding disadvantage, these women-owned businesses generated higher revenues than their male counterparts, and the average return on investment for women-owned companies was double that of men-owned businesses.

Imaguru has a pipeline of tech engineers, as well as AI backed startups solving problems in medicine, productivity, education and other positive change sectors.

Fund Focus

Immigrant founders on move

Immigrant founders outperform in mature tech ecosystems. 55% of unicorns are founded by immigrants in the US and 36% in the UK (vs 14% 10 years ago).

→ We believe as the rest of European tech ecosystems mature, we’ll see the same trend. An immigrant often has an overlap of the traits which we would like to see in a founder. On average, almost by definition, that person that left his or her country and moved to another country has higher levels of drive, inner motivation and resilience.

→ VC-backed Immigrant founders is one of the main drivers of the innovative power of the US economy.
