Today’s founders are reaching for even more audacious goals, navigating a more complex environment, and striving to build companies that not only scale fast, but are built to last! What they need from their first investor is clear:
First Cheque@Jungle introduces a first-of-its-kind investment structure that ensures right-sized early-stage capital to go after big ideas but with limited early-stage dilution. The firm will invest a minimum of $2M as,
The firm is also committed to leading or co-lead subsequent Series A funding rounds, without any need for follow-on funding from other investors (although we welcome the same), with investments ranging from $5M to $10M per company. We don’t need anyone but you and us to decide if we are building something to last here and we will demonstrate it with our continued capital commitments.
Our approach is far from conventional. We value your time as much as our own, which is why we skip the one-size-fits-all cohort-based approach, byte-sized funding, and classroom lectures on business building. From day one, we dive straight into business, focusing on what truly matters, on a one-on-one basis.
With a strong focus on delivering unparalleled access to early-stage business building experience, all First Cheque@Jungle investments are led only by the most experienced Partners of Jungle. Collectively we bring over 200+ years of operating experience in the region, have partnered with more than 45 Founders in sectors as diverse as consumer brands & platforms, B2B and Software, and have created more than $12B in enterprise value with over $2.9B in follow-on capital raised.
You will also work closely with founders from some of our leading portfolio companies. Joining us on this journey as Venture Builders, they will collaborate with you in the trenches, sharing their most recent operating insights and invaluable networks, especially regarding early-stage product and team building.
Just write to us at firstcheque@jungle.vc. The team reviews opportunities continuously, and invitations for meetings and decisions will also be extended on an ongoing basis.
