Partner at Floodgate
Check size: Floodgate does not publish a standard current core-fund check-size range; its Reactor program publishes a separate $50K SAFE.
Ann Miura-Ko invests or supports investments through Floodgate's published strategy: Be a startup's first true believer, investing from founder and idea exploration through seed in teams capable of creating a breakthrough company.
Come with the breakthrough insight, founder evidence, why the future changes, the critical unknowns and the co-conspirator support required before the rest of the market believes.
Superbuilders and superthinkers with a breakthrough insight, exceptional adaptability and the determination to design a non-random future.
Incremental ideas, conventional thinking and teams without a distinctive breakthrough insight or exceptional founder characteristics are less aligned.
