Grow with Taroko Ventures

Ventures   Taroko

Taroko invests upfront, provides an on going credit line for growth, and builds alongside you

We do not participate in rounds as a VC. Instead, we write an initial check and then open up our full stack operation.

We’re looking for scrappy and ambitious software entrepreneurs who reject the conventional CV route and are looking for a partner who’s ready to build alongside them.
