More about Gorilla Ventures

Gorilla's focus is angel size investments in tech startups. As a general rule they always invest in syndication with other investors. They strive to be transparent in the way they work. After partnering with a startup they will typically be involved in these areas:

  • Product/market fit

  • Strategy

  • Funding

  • Go-to-market

  • Customer development

  • International expansion 

How do they work?

Gorilla is able to help you with a range of challenges. From the funding itself to the overall gameplan for your business. They also underline that they have experience from the earliest stage to exit transactions. And they make a point of being available as an advisory resource around the clock.

 

This makes a difference to them

To be a potential investment case, your startup must have:

  • A Finnish company ID

  • A scalable business model based on software

  • A skeleton of product/market fit + the first customers

  • A fully committed team

  • Business in B2B or B2B2C

  • Capital efficient business model

  • Potential to grow internationally

  • Possibility for an early trade sale exit
