“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

"You're on our side. You provide high-value opinions, quickly. You're sympathetic to the deluge of other advice we receive."

Siadhal Magos

Co-founder and CEO

“Garuda punches far above their weight. They continue to be a trusted sounding board for me at Series B and beyond, offering invaluable guidance as I tackle key strategic decisions.”

Pratap Ranade

Co-founder and CEO

"It is incredible to have someone that understands what we're going through and is there to support us to talk to. The Garuda community has also proven incredibly valuable. You have a lot of A+ players in your networks when it comes to hiring more senior people."

Victor Lopez

Co-founder and CEO
