Why We’re Different?

We’ve spent the past 12 years building, mentoring, and investing alongside some of the world’s most ambitious VCs, Angels, & Founders. At YOBE Ventures, we don’t just believe in our companies, we back them with our own capital, our time, and our full commitment.

Unlike traditional firms, we combine investment and mentorship in most of the companies we work with, by design. Over 80% of the time, we invest and mentor simultaneously, because when we believe in a deal, we go all in. That means we don’t just bet on the future, we help build it.

Our VC fund invests with conviction, backing standout tech startups from Seed to Series C with global potential. We’ve supported companies that have gone on to become widely recognized leaders in their space, and we got in early.

In parallel, we operate a dedicated mentorship division that empowers high-potential founders to scale faster and raise capital with clarity, speed, and confidence. This goes far beyond capital raising — we help founders build sales engines, design go-to-market strategies, recruit key talent, and tackle the operational challenges that define scale.

Our mentorship team works hands-on with founders, providing fundraising strategy, investor access, narrative design, and execution support that drives real traction — without the fluff.

This integrated approach gives us unmatched insight, skin in the game, and deep alignment with both founders and co-investors. We act with radical transparency and build trusted relationships that scale far beyond the round.

The Inspiration Behind the Establishment of YOBE Ventures

In the volatile world of private tech, too many founders feel pressure to exaggerate numbers or hide weaknesses to secure funding. This creates systemic challenges:

👉🏻 Fear among investors: Trust is eroded, making it harder for real opportunities to break through.

👉🏻 A flood of uninspired pitches: Investors are bombarded with decks that lack vision, substance, or execution credibility.

👉🏻 Genuine founders overlooked: Transparent, ambitious entrepreneurs often struggle to stand out in a market clouded by noise and mistrust.

At YOBE Ventures, we believe founders and investors deserve better. Capital raising should be a transparent, empowering process, one that aligns visionaries with legacy-driven investors to build enduring companies.

Our Commitment to LPs, Co-Investors, and Founders

We provide conviction-driven investments and hands-on mentorship. For our LPs and co-investors, that means access to rigorously vetted tech opportunities in the US and Europe, backed by real diligence, alignment, and transparency. For founders, it means more than a check, it’s about having a long-term partner who is committed to the company’s growth, challenges, and opportunities at every step.

True Mentorship, Beyond Capital

Our mentorship goes far beyond fundraising. We work closely with founders on strategy, sales, marketing, HR, and operational execution, the real levers that unlock traction and sustainable growth. At the same time, we guide them through investor conversations, narrative design, and capital strategy, ensuring they raise not only faster but also smarter.

This integrated approach sets YOBE Ventures apart: we’re not passive investors or external advisors, we’re partners. We share the responsibility, the risk, and the wins, building companies with clarity, discipline, and conviction.
