Our Approach

/ 01

Discovery

At the heart of our ethos lies a dedication to discovery – not merely as investors, but as seers to the future of missionary founders. We delve into the narratives of pioneering companies and funds, embracing their stories as part of our own.

/ 02

Research

In our research, we dig deep into the essence of every mission we engage 
with, recognizing that each founder's story is a unique chapter in a grander
 narrative. As such, our analysis goes beyond numbers; it's an exploration 
of visions, dreams, and the impact these endeavors have on reshaping 
the world around us.

/ 03

Service The New Thing

We dedicate ourselves to not just funding, but empowering missions that
 resonate with our ethos of service. Each investment is a commitment to 
inspire generations by being part of a founder's journey.

BECAUSE OF THEM WE ARE

Founder Testimonials

Pushkar Mukewar

Founder & CEO of Drip Capital

"I have had the pleasure of working with Alex and Trang since 2019.

They are the kind of investors every founder should have on their cap table. They are super supportive and committed, and will work with you through good and bad times. They are also very well connected, and will go out of their way to help you in whatever way they can."

Gokul Rajaram

CEO of Caviar, Former Executive Member of Google, Square, Doordash

“I mean every word. Alex and Trang are the best partners we could have asked for.

Their advice, network and introductions have been massively helpful in helping us raise our fund. They are available and always willing to spend time with us to help us navigate the twists and turns we invariably encounter - they have seen it all over decades, and their candid feedback is worth its weight in gold. We cannot recommend them strongly enough.”

Nikki Pechet

Cofounder & CEO, Homebound

"We met Alex and Trang and immediately thought that they would be a fantastic fit, and so we’ve been working with them round after round and they’ve been incredible supporters."

Garry Tan

CEO of Y Combinator

"Transpose Platform Fund is the Y Combinator for Funds.

"The Youtube thumbnail algo game forces me to put that thumb out, but the frank reality is I was just one small part of the whole. Investment is insane leverage. Wouldn't be in that seat without @paulg @jesslivingston @harjtagger @alexisohanian @alexbangash." "Haha I bought Bitcoin too. But I had just paid off my credit card debt for the year before and was still broke. I had just become a partner at YC. A fund of funds manager @AlexBangash put me in business for our Initialized Fund 1. So I wish I had bought more Bitcoin. But I did buy.”

Matt Clifford

Co-Founder of EF Global

“Alex, Trang and Transpose Platform team have been absolutely instrumental in Entrepreneur First’s journey.

We could not ask for a more thoughtful, collaborative and ambitious anchor LP. The Transpose team goes above and beyond time and time; we’re lucky to have them as such a close partner.”

Jason Lemkin

Founder of SaaStr

“Special thank you to Transpose Platform and Alex Bangash. First in, biggest champion, great friend. No Alex, No Fund.”

Alex Haro

Cofounder & Chairman of Hubble Networks

"A lot of benefits of the Transpose Program and the Chairman Program have been having access to people that really built interesting tools, John Kim with Sendbird, Chris Nguyen with LogDNA, Sumon with UI Flow.

These are all operators that have built businesses and have expertise in terms of especially thinking through developer tools and platforms and you know, really making that investment into a founder and supporting them through the journey."

Kai Stinchcombe

Cofounder & CEO, Truelink

"The thing about Transpose is that there is a very genuine relationship that is built, you’re with someone for the whole generation, and it is obvious that you care and really want to support them."

Shashank P.S.

Cofounder & CEO, CasaOne

"The unique thing about Transpose is the fact that they bring a very wide network and a long time partner.

They helped us even before I started the company, was something that I truly truly cherished."

Michael Jones

Partner, Science Ventures & Science Studio, Former CEO of Myspace

“Alex and Trang have been instrumental to the success of Science Ventures.

Beyond their financial commitment, the TI team has demonstrated themselves to add strategic value to the fund’s construction, highly connected with domestic and international LP’s, and worked at an entrepreneurial pace. We find them to be fantastic partners and are happy to call them our most strategic investors.”

Jack Abraham

Co-Founder of Milo, Hims, Atomic, Homebound, Bungalow

"Transpose Platform Fund has been among our favorite LPs to partner with at Atomic.

In addition to being hyper connected across the globe to top institutional LP's, Alex and Trang see trends before anyone else and are a truly valued thought partner as we continue innovating on, evolving and enhancing our unique venture studio model."

Chester Ng

Partner of Atomic, Co-Founder of Sweetlab, Serial Entrepreneur, took companies public

"Transpose Platform Fund has been incredible partners to Atomic over multiple years and funds.

Alex, Trang, and the team are bold, collaborative, creative, innovative, and thoughtful - exactly what we look for from a top LP, but also perfectly aligned with what we aspire to be as GP's. Their strong relationships with institutional LP's and the broad community they've built of top LP's and GP's are immensely valuable, especially to emerging managers. Behind the scenes, they have been so helpful to us from the early days of Atomic and a big part of our success and scale."

Michael Fertik

Founder and CEO of Reputation

“Alex, Trang, and Transpose are the best in the business. They are intelligent, innovative, insightful, and helpful. If I could clone them, I would!”

Zain Hussain

Co-Founder of Trident AI

"Transpose's investment has played a pivotal role in our growth.

Building a fintech is expensive, and requires a ton of engineering resources. We received a lot of traction early on and began onboarding fintechs for our pilot, but quick and secure integrations required heavy engineering resources. With Transpose's investment we we were able to move fast in hiring, maintain momentum in serving customers, and focus primarily on building a product. Without the investment, we would have undoubtedly found it difficult to grow as fast as we are, and are incredibly grateful for their support!"
