Leap from zero to seed.

Get funded and fast track to Seed round.

Leap is a one-of-a-kind pre-seed partner, redefining the journey to Seed. Not your typical investor, we offer a first-check fundraising and then work side by side with you to reach revenue milestones and raise your Seed round. Our process provides everything founders need to leap from zero to Seed.

How Leap works.

Leap's 3-phase process builds momentum for sequential success. It starts with first-check fundraising (up to $300K), continues with a rigorous GTM phase that drives market momentum and traction, and culminates in a Seed round. Everything we do is 1-on-1, tailored, hands-on, and action-oriented, designed to drive results.

Hands-On

We like to roll up the sleeves and dive into the details. “Execution is king” and “the devil is in the details” aren’t clichés. They are the reality.

Customized

Everything is tailor-made to the company’s unique situation and needs. We are the opposite of one size fits all, generic frameworks and textbook theories.

High Touch

We truly partner up, working 1-on-1 with you. We are always there with weekly meetings, ad-hoc calls and texts as needed.

Impactful

We don’t shy away from tackling the biggest issues heads on. Enduring and overcoming painful challenges is the real competitive moat.

What to Expect

Commitment to value

Never engaging with a company unless there's 100% conviction regarding ability to make a meaningful impact.

Mindshare

Engaging with a small set of companies to allow for the necessary focus and attention that drives value.

Expectation settings and honesty

Being open about things that are unclear or new while being diligent on how to address them.

A flexible model without any strings

Starting with a free calibration period. Rolling monthly engagement. Cancel any time.

What NOT to Expect
An over night success

While the value should be felt from the the start, bottom line results will take time to materialize.

An instant answer to every problem

Vast experience doesn't mean absolute knowledge. It means carefully choosing between alternatives.

Consulting BS

No cookie-cutter re-purposed agenda, theories, buzzwords, or fluffy decks. Moving fast and strong.

Loose agenda

This is not an occasional touch point that doesn't scratch the surface. It's an ongoing blocking and tackling process that dives into the details. Let's roll up our sleeves.
