Base Case Capital is a solo GP fund run by product-builder Alana Goyal that invests in deeply technical founders at the "pre-idea / pre-company" stage through ongoing conversations rather than traditional pitch meetings, targeting under-estimated founder profiles like comeback founders and solo founders. The fund operates as an embedded early user and paying customer of portfolio products, helping technical founders "nail their base case"—first engineers, first customers, first institutional round—and then "recurse onwards" through a concentrated, devtool-heavy portfolio.
