Octopus Ventures thesis

What is your investment process? There are some differences in our investment process, depending on which stage you’re at. The below gives you a general idea of the steps we follow. Pre-seed investment: Step 1: Send us your deck – if we think we’re a fit for your business, we’ll set up a call. This first chat (approx. 30 minutes) will include a general intro to your team, the problem you’re tackling and the solution you’re proposing. Step 2: Second meeting (approx. 45 minutes), including detailed GTM (go to market) information, deep dive, live product demo and a meeting with other co-founders.
