A Unique Early-Stage Rolling Fund

This is an early-stage fund, leveraging the audience of the Techmeme Ride Home podcast both for deal flow and for investment capital. Our LPs are the podcast audience. Many of our investments are coming from the audience as well.

Ride Home Fund was named to Signature Block’s Emerging 50 list of up-and-coming funds.
