Leadout Capital

Leadout Capital is an early-stage venture fund based in Portola Valley, California, founded in 2018 and led by Alison "Ali" Rosenthal as founder and Managing Partner. The fund invests at the early stage in companies spanning TMT, healthcare, payment platforms and artificial intelligence.

Its stated investment approach centres on founder-market fit: backing founders whose deep customer expertise allows them to identify important problems, with particular emphasis on resilient "non-obvious" founders working on difficulties in overlooked areas. The firm describes a thesis that entrepreneurial talent and strong ideas exist among people of all types, and frames its values around broadening who receives support and connecting founders' knowledge of customers with the companies they build.

Leadout Capital presents its team and portfolio companies publicly on its website and maintains a job board linking opportunities across the Leadout network.
