Serial Stage Venture Partners (SSVP) is an active and engaged investor, committed to delivering meaningful value to each portfolio company from the outset. While SSVP invests across a range of stages, it generally targets opportunities with the potential to generate at least a 1x return for each year the company remains in the portfolio.
Each month, SSVP presents one to two carefully vetted investment opportunities to its network. The selection process begins with an introductory call, during which the partners evaluate whether the company aligns with SSVP’s core investment criteria. If there is a strong fit, the opportunity proceeds to initial due diligence—a comprehensive 40-point evaluation that assigns conviction levels to each key area. Following this analysis, the partners regroup to review any remaining questions for the founder. If conviction remains high, a formal investment memo is prepared. This process typically takes three to four weeks.
Once the investment memo is complete, the founder is invited to present to the full network during SSVP’s monthly recorded pitch call. A one-page summary is shared in advance of the call, with the full diligence memo distributed afterward. Network members then have approximately 30 days to review the opportunity and make individual investment decisions. Members are welcome to reach out with any follow-up questions following the presentation.
