    Why walk, when you can ride? --- We created the early-stage venture fund we wish had existed when we started our first companies. What we bring to the table: - Considerable **company building experience** (zero to IPO, plenty of failures) - A massive network of engaged supporters (Cavalry is **backed by 150+ well-connected individuals**) - A very strong track record with an **80%+ Series A follow-on quota** by the world’s top funds We keep things simple. We are upfront and no bullshit. We won't ruin your life with months of unnecessary due diligence. We won't renegotiate and grind you on terms. We are long term. Rather than focusing on a particular vertical, we focus on a specific stage, which is the “as early as it makes sense for the company” stage. We invest early, often pre-product and pre-revenue.
