GrowthX Capital

Who We Invest In and When

We are looking for learn-it-alls who recognize the need and want help finding product-market fit.

Founders choose GrowthX Capital because of our deep go-to-market expertise and our aligned core values.

We invest in post-revenue, capital-efficient, highly-scalable companies working towards product-market fit.

How Much We Invest

Our first check is up to $250,000 and our Limited Partners frequently write checks alongside of us in the amount of $500,000 to $1,000,000.

We make follow-on investments in founders that keep us current throughout their journey.

Is GrowthX a Good Fit

The best way to get our attention is through a warm introduction from someone who knows us. We rely heavily on the results from The Revenue Accelerator to identify and qualify investment opportunities.

Please be prepared to share a detailed hypothesis of your ideal customer profile, along with your financial model and cap table. Your cap table should include details of any outstanding convertible instruments.

Our Community

  • “I’ll admit it, marketing doesn’t come naturally to Slope’s team of engineers, logisticians, and software developers. GrowthX used their market development expertise to help us think exponentially about novel ways to spread our message to our target audience. The team at GrowthX is more than just a group of check writers, they are partners who help us reach our full potential.”

    Rust Felix, Slope.io

  • “I chose GrowthX because the partners are all experienced operators and different from typical SV investors, so having that grounding is very helpful to build a truly long lasting business. During the process, they were very transparent and their focus on nailing true customer need before scaling resonated with me.”

    Pavan Boob, FleetPanda

  • "GrowthX has been a fantastic partner in growing my business. The team is extremely supportive and eager to help with anything we need, whether it’s a simple introduction to someone in their network, or more hands on advice on go-to-market initiatives. I feel lucky to have found such a talented and passionate group and would recommend GrowthX as a partner."

    Thatcher Spring, GearLaunch

  • "GrowthX was instrumental to us in raising our round after completing the Matter accelerator program. Andrew took the time to learn our business and not only helped us to source capital, but guided the process to ensure everything was smooth, efficient and expedient."

    Rebecca Eydeland, Mingyian

  • "Before investing in my company I always felt that the interactions with GrowthX were more of a mentor/mentee relationship where they truly wanted to see me succeed and not just for their own economic gains. They are a great team that perfectly balances humanity, the need to create value (for all involved) and unique skills focused on accelerating the growth of promising companies."

    Eric Howie, Life Detection Group

  • “We chose GrowthX as investors for their B2B expertise, for sharing our belief that success comes from customer revenue first and their stellar Market Acceleration Program. The team helped Contentools with their mapped out methodology applied to go-to-market, allowing us to replicate the step-by-step process to our own reality and scale.”

    Emilia Chagas, GrowthHackers

  • “Andrew and Max were the first VCs to have a vetting process that gave us a chance to detail the HouseKeys’ Market, prove our team’s domain expertise, and chart a path to “yes”. GrowthX makes me hopeful for well-qualified entrepreneurs who want to truly be judged by their capability and given an opportunity to build something great.”

    Julius Nyanda, HouseKeys

  • "GrowthX is one of the most helpful VC’s I’ve had the privilege of working with. Long before deciding to join InHerSight’s second round the team was adding value, brainstorming ways to enhance the platform, reaching into their network to make meaningful connections, and being genuinely accessible and approachable."

    Ursula Mead, InHerSight

  • "With GrowthX, you have a team that’s working with you and thinking on how to adapt the general process to your market."

    Agustina Sartori, GlamSt (acquired by ULTA Beauty)

  • "Having GrowthX on your side is like having a co-founder that is an absolute authority on lean thinking, business strategy and achieving product-market fit."

    Sashank Purighalla, BOS Framework (a Techstars company)

Our Stewardship Pledge

AS AN Innovation Investor

We believe the venture capital community can no longer ignore the ethical and moral issues that arise alongside its investment activities.The Stewardship Pledge, pioneered by the Kauffman Fellowship, is an attempt to respond to this need.

THE PROBLEM

The venture capital industry can no longer ignore the ethical and moral issues that arise alongside its investment activities, from power imbalances, lack of inclusion, or conflicts of interest. There is an ethical and moral imperative for a proactive and affirmative approach from the investor community.

THE ACKNOWLDGEMENT

As innovation investors, we recognize:

  • Our industry of innovation capital has the power to drive both private value creation and sustainable, positive societal transformation;
  • Our purpose is to direct capital and expertise to create shared value by accelerating the pace of innovation through company formation and growth;
  • Our investment decisions affect the well-being of individuals inside and outside of GrowthX, the companies in which we invest, our capital partners, the industries in which we work, and beyond, both today and in the future; and
  • Our behavior must set an example of integrity and mutual respect, eliciting trust and esteem from the multiple stakeholders we serve.

We will remain accountable to our peers and to society for our actions and for upholding these standards.

Pledge #5: Dignity

We will protect the human rights and dignity of all people impacted by GrowthX and our investee companies, and oppose discrimination both within our investee companies and in the process of selecting investments.

Pledge #6: Diversity and Inclusion

We will promote a culture of inclusion, seek out diversity of all types, and foster a sense of belonging among all the organizations and communities in which we work. To further continuing awareness and action, we will participate to the extent of our abilities in open discussion and reporting across our industry as well as encourage others to do the same.

Without a basic understanding of venture capital, how do you know that venture is the right type of funding for you, and how will you identify the right capital partner?

I’ve created this venture capital mini-course to walk you through – in plain-English – all the foundational knowledge you need about venture capital.

In the mini-course, I cover:

  • What is venture capital, and what do venture capitalists expect of you?
  • Equity, convertible debt, and convertible equity (and how to avoid common pitfalls)
  • How to build, model, and manage your cap table to avoid costly mistakes (including a downloadable cap table tool).
  • How to apply all of this knowledge to build a business VCs want to invest in.
