MISSION

TG Ventures exists to fill the void of qualified lead investors for the seed round. 

​

TG leads seed rounds by contributing up to 20% of the round goal and leveraging its extensive investor network to ensure easy follow-on investment of up to an additional 60% of the funding goal. With the goal of raising the remainder through non-dilutive finnacing options.

INNOVATION…  the quest of know-how

Beyond technical success,

most technology startups fail... WHY ?

​

  • Misalignment of product with market needs

  • Product complexity and cost

  • Inexperienced management team

  • The many challenges involved in turning a technical project into a viable company

  • Inability to seize the right opportunities

  • Challenges involved in raising appropriate financing

THE PROBLEM

  • The limited support system seldomly brings entrepreneurs to venture capital firms.

  • Most VC funds target “proven” ideas (Series A and B) meaning startups in the seed stage have limited financing options.

  • There is a disconnect between the need for strategic/monetary support and the resources available to startups such as professionals, incubators, etc.

KEYS TO SUCCESS

  • TG Ventures boasts strong fundamentals in the realm of seed funding

  • Extensive experience in managing technology companies, from conception to exit, by managing the growth aspect

  • In-depth market knowledge 

  • Speed and accuracy of execution, from due diligence all the way to supporting the exit process.

  • Constant and close mentorship
