01

Fundraising

We act as your in-house fundraising team. We create an institutional-grade data room, map your network to find intro paths to the right investors, manage your process, and act as a strategic partner until the close.

02

Finance

We act as your in-house finance team between rounds. We build a full-stack financial architecture for your company so you run on clean, accurate financial data that makes the next raise faster and more efficient.

03

Investor Relations

We act as your in-house IR team. We produce board decks, draft investor updates, and help you navigate board dynamics so existing investors stay informed, aligned, and ready to re-up.

Managing capital, from fundraising to financial operations to investor relations, is mission-critical, but most private companies don't have the scale to justify a full-time team. Founders end up doing it themselves, at the expense of the business.

Backpocket is building a new kind of services firm: an embedded in-house capital team for private companies. We work alongside you continuously, not transactionally, and treat your cap table as our own.

Instead of doing all the work themselves, founders get one partner across the full capital lifecycle. Raise faster, operate cleaner, and keep existing investors close between rounds.

Syndicate

We write $50k–$100k checks into early-stage startups and make decisions quickly. We're backed by 200+ founders, operators, and investors.

02

Coinvest

We provide privileged access to minority investments in top-tier venture capital deals alongside leading sponsors.

03

Fund coming soon

We invest in high-growth companies focused on identifying potential disruptors and next-gen platform companies.

Working alongside founders as their fundraising team puts us closer to the best companies than most investors ever get. We see the data, meet the team, and build conviction from the inside, so we back the ones we already know well.

We invest through three vehicles: an early-stage syndicate, select coinvestments alongside top-tier venture sponsors, and a dedicated Backpocket fund launching soon.

Founders get a capital partner who already knows the business, an active network of operators behind every check, and the same team across fundraising, finance, IR, and ownership.
