Gambit Partners is a venture capital fund de-risking pre-seed investments. It leverages experienced tech operators as limited partners. This provides portfolio companies capital and expertise, guiding them through talent, fundraising, and technical challenges.
Founded 2021 by Simon Sokol and Chris Krzyzanowski, Gambit Partners addressed a market gap. Sokol, from Relay Ventures, noted promising Canadian pre-seed ventures lacked early institutional funding. Krzyzanowski, with operational experience from Lane Technologies and VTS, co-founded the firm to integrate strategic support with financial backing.
The fund backs early-stage entrepreneurs and startups needing capital and mentorship. Gambit Partners aims to accelerate growth, positioning them for subsequent investment rounds. Its vision is to pioneer a pre-seed model, striving for risk-adjusted returns of later seed stages by integrating its operational LP network.
Gambit Partners has 2 tracked investments across 2 companies. The latest tracked deal is $1.5M Pre-Seed in Mave in October 2024.
