i/o ventures is an early stage startup program that focuses heavily on mentorship. We work closely with founders from product launch through the next stage of company development, sharing what has proven to work for product scaling, revenue growth and fund raising. Our partners and mentors have started and run some of the top internet companies. We want you to take advantage of our experience leading teams, building great products, raising money, negotiating mergers and acquisitions, and scaling infrastructure; all with the hope that you dramatically improve your execution and time-to-market (and won’t repeat our mistakes!) We take pride in our roles both as founders and operators. Each of us has recently or is currently running a technology company. We understand the most common challenges that all entrepreneurs face. We're based out of a funky space in the Mission and invite both portfolio companies and people looking to start a company to come hang out.
