Gray Ventures IV

Our preference is to lead rounds by being up to the first $1 million of outside investment on the cap table. We will also enter into syndications, if invited. We only participate in priced rounds.

When leading rounds, we invest by means of a proprietary equity security which aligns our interests with that of the entrepreneur. Before making each investment, we contemplate and plan for future rounds with identified partners whom we have invested with or have known for many years. Accordingly, we structure our “Series A-1” security such that the terms of the “A-2,” “B,” and “C” rounds are “bolted” on top of the prior series, resulting in clean cap tables and transparency for both the entrepreneurs and the investors.
