Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Side Door Ventures?
The firm describes itself as a globally distributed team of former founders, biotech scientists, space engineers, and growth operators. Investment decisions route through an investment committee after associates complete diligence and present recommendations. The process averages 12 days from initial meeting to final decision. Specific named investment committee members or a managing partner are not publicly listed on the firm's website.
How does Side Door Ventures source deals?
The firm's team is composed of former founders who have raised over $100 million for their own companies and exited, plus domain experts in biotech, space, and growth. Sourcing draws on that operator network. The firm also maintains local network nodes in Los Angeles, Singapore, Vancouver, Amsterdam, and Nashville beyond its San Francisco and New York hubs, giving it global top-of-funnel reach across five continents.
What sectors does Side Door Ventures explicitly avoid?
Side Door describes itself as sector-agnostic and generalist, with no publicly stated exclusions. Its portfolio spans software, life sciences, space, deep tech, blockchain, gaming, media, security, food, and financial services. The Michigan Fund applies a narrower lens focused on manufacturing, advanced mobility, AI/ML, clean energy, and deep tech.
