Venture Guides operates a team-based guide model where every partner provides hands-on advising to founders across strategy, finance, and go-to-market execution, with 10 of their first 11 infrastructure software portfolio companies choosing to co-locate their sales operations at the firm's Boston headquarters through an in-house sales academy called VG Sales. The firm focuses exclusively on early-stage infrastructure, security, cloud, AI, and data software companies, with partners committing over 10% of their personal capital to the fund and a track record that includes large exits like Dynatrace, DocuSign, and LinkedIn.
