For founders still looking

We're no longer writing checks, but the ecosystem has never been richer. These funds back early founders like we did.

Common questions

What was the typical investment?

An initial check of $100 to help founders take their very first step.

Did you take equity?

It varied by project. We worked with each founder to find the right arrangement.

Why did the fund close?

The fund was personally financed. Rather than raise from LPs, we chose to close after completing our initial mission.

I started Go Human Fund because I believed the earliest stage of building — when you have nothing but an idea and determination — deserved more support than it got. We couldn't write large checks, but we could be the first people to say "I believe in you."

The fund is closed now, but the conviction hasn't changed. Every founder we backed taught me something about resilience, creativity, and what it means to build for others. I'm grateful to each of them.
