Gate34 - Founder Support
Alongside the fund, Gate34 works hands-on with early-stage founders. Most founders treat fundraising as the objective. It isn’t.
Capital is a result.
In sport, you train weeks, months, or even years before the big event. Winning is just the outcome. Same thing here. You earn the right to raise. Most founders ask for help with a round, but when you scratch the surface, they’re not ready. The model is off. The go-to-market is unclear. The amount they’re raising makes no sense.
We fix the company first. Then we build from there. Through Gate34, founders build companies that deserve capital. When the fundamentals are right, capital follows.
