TRAMLINES Ventures is a fund & accelerator focused on B2B startups in Deep Tech, AI, Fintech, and Enterprise Tech. It targets domain experts with at least 10 years of industry experience and takes them through a 24-month Pre-Seed and Seed programme.
 
As an Investor Relations Lead, I'm here to ensure the success of our Portco's in their fundraising efforts.

The IPO market is likely to gain momentum this year, and that's a great signal for early-stage startups. The exits trigger payouts to LPs, who then are likely to commit to new funds (think VC, Angel syndicates, cVCs..) We've got 7 likely mega-IPOs on the horizon:

1. OpenAI (likely at $1T valuation)
2. SpaceX
3. Stripe
4. Anthropic
5. Databricks (est. valuation $43B)
6. Canva (valued at $42B from its most recent funding round)
7. Anduril (defense tech, raised $6.3B to date)

Another plus?

Post-IPO, employees with company shares convert their equity into liquid cash.

-> a lot of them end up angel investing in new ventures... and typically have a higher risk tolerance than traditional wealth managers. 

They are more likely to fund "crazy" early-stage ideas that institutions might skip.

NEXT STOP: TRAMLINES 🚀
Excited to say I’m joining the team at Tramlines Ventures! We back domain expert founders across AI, Fintech, DeepTech & Enterprise Tech, investing at Pre Seed/ Seed and taking them through a bespoke support program extending the right commercial & investor networks around them.

The right access and advice at the earliest stages can truly make or break the business. And at Tramlines, we start from a simple assumption:

Building *durable* businesses requires strong tech applied with deep domain understanding. 

We look closely at the tech, the architecture, the data, and the full enterprise readiness.

With 7 investments to date (and 1 exit), my role will drive more of our portfolio to successful outcomes across their various stages, ranging from Pre Seed to Series A (and some reaching profitability already..)

Alas… 

💸 to the INVESTORS in my network: we should catch up. 

🛠️ to the FOUNDERS in my network: we’re actively investing. Leave a comment with a 1-sentence description of what you’re building + tag another Founder in your network. 

Our team will be actively screening all Comments throughout this week and reaching out directly to those who could be a fit.
