Why founders choose Jigsaw 🦄
Simply put, founders deserve better than the loosely-held promises of 'value-add' that’s so prevalent in VC today. Access to investment capital is table stakes. We provide an unprecedented level of support, often pre-term sheet, that moves the needle on outcomes for your company, even if we don’t invest! Our VC brand is built from the ground up in the founder testimonials of those we work with.
We support founders to understand key inflection points in the startups journey to success and facilitate access to our deep network of world-class operators and domain experts who have faced similar challenges to you.
