Our take
Flash Ventures believe that building a venture can be a very systematic and structured process. However, it recognises that all great business start with ideas. The company was founded with a focus on supporting pre-product ventures and helping them move from idea to stand-alone organisation. There aren't many ventures out there more focused on the potential than the product, and Flash is convinced there's a gold mine there.
By introducing a new level of speed and clarity into the venture building process, the company helps founders validate ideas and build complementary teams in a matter of weeks, rather than months like some other traditional startup journeys. The goal is to convert ventures into profitable companies at a rate that is above the industry standard.
Flash have made over 35 investments since inception , covering 5 continents via a global investment approach based on local expertise. This involves hiring investors in specific regions to drive investment on site. The company's team is a core part of their offering to founders - the aim is to be a platform that combines founders’ potential with their experience and network
