From Founders We've Backed
Rishi was one of the first to believe in us when Canva was just an idea. We really appreciated his support when we needed it in that very tricky first round!”
MELANIE PERKINS
Co-founder and CEO
As a 2nd time founder, I know how important early investors are. We were fortunate to have our choice of investors this time, and I’m glad I chose to work with Garuda. They have introduced us to customers, hires, and are never more than a text away.”
Thejo Kote
Founder and CEO
Garuda has had our back from day one as the first investor to support Noyo. They are incredibly collaborative and meaningfully engaged in the work we're doing. We tell any founders getting started to talk to them.”
Shannon Goggin
Co-founder and CEO
Garuda helped launch WoFlow. They have offered advice and an ear for every strategic decision, and are there for us even at last minute or late notice! They also have a great founder network that has proven quite valuable.”
