Get in Touch

I have gotten to know Matt over the past few years as he was starting up Ripple Ventures and am truly impressed by his ability to work hard for his founders. I’ve had him in my corner even before this round and have seen Ripple’s value creation in companies like Voiceflow. Their fund fills a huge gap for companies like ours in the market; they are hands-on capital providers with founder-friendly round dynamics and a strong network to larger investors that we can access when the time is right. They have a proven network with top-tier investors in the US and help set-up their companies for success. Matt and Ripple Ventures are best in class. I recommend all young startups to talk to them. They are transparent, honest, and thoughtful. They don't operate like every other early-stage VC, cold and calculated. I know every investor claims they are value add, but I can honestly say, without a doubt, we are much further along as a business because of Ripple.

I always highly recommend Ripple Ventures to other founders. Matt and I still chat on a daily basis, both as friends and as our earliest investors. He’s a huge asset for future fundraises and will become a die-hard supporter of your business. The thing I love the most about Ripple is that they are independent thinkers and will be with you through thick and thin as operators. Ripple takes the lead when firms shy away or wait for others. They move quickly to add value from day one, with many of our first users and customers coming through their network. Ripple was recommended to us by one of their current portfolio companies, and we couldn't be happier to recommend them to any company looking to make an impact.

I'm not sure there are other investors like Ripple operating in Canada - they are truly in a class of their own. I first met Matt, Dom, and Naz at an extraordinarily early stage of starting my company long before I even remotely knew what I was doing. What amazed me was how much time and effort the entire team put into not only learning about the space Page was in but understanding how we planned on changing the industry. It is no exaggeration that the Ripple team made Page a better company long, long before they decided to invest through the guidance and help they gave throughout the investment process. Since the investment though, Page as a company and myself as a founder have grown exponentially faster than we would have without them.

Ripple Ventures has been an integral part of our success, going beyond just providing capital. They've been true partners in every aspect of our journey, from refining our sales strategies to optimizing our product roadmap and preparing us for future fundraising rounds. Ripple's support is hands-on and proactive, whether it’s working with us directly or connecting us with their extensive venture partner network and other founders in the Ripple portfolio. With the help of Matt, Dom and the team, we've secured some of our largest and most strategic customers and technology partners. We're incredibly grateful for their support and hope to continue working with the team as we scale the business.

More than many investors I've worked with before, Ripple leans in like another co-founder, helping with key strategic decisions and driving meaningful outcomes for GTM, hiring, & fundraising. But more importantly, Matt & Dom are always there to lift you up when things feel hard.

Transparency is a core value we hold dear at Asepha, and Ripple has exemplified this value since day one. Their deep understanding of scaling high-growth companies is evident in their willingness to dive into the day-to-day challenges of early-stage entrepreneurship. Their constant communication and unwavering advocacy have made them invaluable hands-on partners in our journey, helping us navigate the complexities of building our business.

As a repeat founder, I know that what sets good investors apart from great ones are people like Dom and Matt. From Day 1, they didn’t just provide capital—they opened up their networks, dove deep into our strategy, and brought invaluable insight to both our go-to-market approach and fundraising efforts.

The Ripple team has been a true partner in every step of our journey. From the early ideation days where Dom would sit with our team to give us perspective on early customer validation, to even guiding us through a fundraise, the team is a true value add. Also, they have a tendency to lean in, and care, when things are murky - which is a huge departure from the norm in VC.

Their hands-on approach and deep operating expertise have made a real impact, enabling us to make smarter decisions and survive!

The Ripple team backed us before anyone else did. The conversations I got to have and the opportunities we had were a large part thanks to their early conviction and belief in our team. Being brought into the Ripple world, we were exposed to incredible founders. This access allowed us to learn faster than we otherwise would have.

Ripple has been a valuable extension of our team during our growth. Matt and Dom are genuinely passionate about their investments and have consistently supported us throughout our journey. As a solo founder, I considered them my trusted partners, always available to discuss the challenges we faced. Additionally, they have created a vibrant community of founders, which I often turn to for assistance whenever I have questions or uncertainties.

Matt and Dom are great to work with. During the fundraising process, they quickly understood our market opportunity and got to conviction quickly. After the money comes in they feel like an extension of your team. They really try to find ways to help not just talk about it. I know they are on our side and are always a great sounding board during key decisions too.

Ripple Ventures has been a pivotal in our company's success! They have supported us at every stage of our journey with constant feedback and communication.

Whether it’s refining our go-to-market strategy, offering hands-on support during tough operational challenges, or giving invaluable fundraising advice, their guidance has been instrumental to our success. Beyond the strategic help, their network of CEOs and venture partners has provided a fantastic community to lean on. They are fully invested in our growth, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their continued support.

‍

Ripple Ventures exemplifies true partnership. Even before investing, Dom and Matt connected us with potential customers, outlined their value-add, and provided hours of invaluable advice. Their "give first" mentality sets them apart, proving their commitment goes far beyond just writing a check.

Ripple Ventures gives it to you straight, which is exactly what you need in a partner. As a founder, it's easy to get lost in the details, but Ripple helps you refocus on the bigger picture.

A great investor is more than just a backer; Ripple is a partner who helps navigate challenges, unlocks new opportunities, and fuels growth with guidance and belief. Their support goes beyond capital, driving the business forward.

Matt, Dom, and the Ripple team have been instrumental to our success at Levr.ai. Their real, direct approach and hands-on involvement, while respecting the founder's vision, have helped us refine our strategies and amplify our growth. Ripple Ventures isn’t just an investor—they’re a true partner who shares their reputation with their companies and connects us with a powerful network of founders and industry contacts. In my opinion, their greatest attribute is that by working with them, we increase our likelihood of success—and that’s the most you can ask for from a VC.

The entire Ripple team has been incredibly supportive since day one. We’ve received focused advice and expertise when it comes to growing customers, and scaling our company. Whether it’s insights on our GTM motion, intros to other portfolio founders, or advice on product building, Ripple has always been in our corner. The connections and insights we've gained through the Ripple network have been critical in refining our product and accelerating growth. With Ripple's support, we’re excited to continue growing as a company and expanding our impact.

From our first meeting with the Ripple Ventures team to our ongoing operations, the team is always rolling up their sleeves and guide us through our journey.

When we joined RippleX, we actually came in with a different idea—it was adjacent—but we ended up pivoting altogether during the fellowship, which was incredibly valuable. The one-on-one sessions with the Ripple team were extremely helpful. Being able to sit down with Dom, Naz, and Katie, and even Matt from time to time, gave us a chance to discuss what was going well, identify problems, and find solutions together.

I also have to give a special shoutout to Katie for all the updates and feedback on our sales and pitch decks, to Naz for her insights on our website, and to Dom for facilitating introductions across their vast network in go-to-market, marketing, and sales. That level of support made a huge difference for us.

‍

Ripple Ventures has been an incredible partner from the very beginning. Dom and Naz worked closely with us during the early days, helping us navigate key operational challenges like budgeting and connecting us with exceptional sales leaders, particularly in cybersecurity. Matt’s leadership in building a firm that genuinely supports its founders has been invaluable. Ripple’s hands-on approach and commitment have made a lasting impact on our journey. We are so fortunate to have them by our side, and we are excited for our continued future with them.

Ripple is exactly what we were looking for in a strategic investor. They bring a wide range of experience that's invaluable for directing our business along with an extensive network we've used for everything from sales to product to fundraising.
