Speaker Ventures

Not all companies are unicorns. but many are still great. We help founders exit companies that have great traction and potential, but didn't crack VC-scale growth. Founders get a meaningful exit, and another shot at the next opportunity. New operators bring in fresh energy and focus on building a great business. We've been there, and want to help others do the same. We built HigherMe - a Y Combinator-backed startup that wasn't a rocketship, but still served a real problem. We focused our efforts on a smaller market, and targeted profitable growth. In 2021, HigherMe was acquired - delivering a meaningful exit for the founders and early employees, and paying back investors. We want to help others get on the same path.
