LvlUp Ventures is a global venture capital firm investing in and accelerating early-stage & late-stage startups. LvlUp is ranked among the most active venture capital firms globally (#7 worldwide, #4 in the United States, and #1 in Consumer Goods & Technology — PitchBook). Our opportunistic investment thesis backs founders wherever opportunity emerges—where the intersection of our capital, expertise, and strategic partnership ecosystem unlocks a true level up in growth, unbound by sector or stage. Beyond capital, LvlUp operates as an extended team to founders—combining hands-on growth and fundraising support with a powerful ecosystem of corporate partners to give companies an unfair advantage as they scale. We are deeply focused on unlocking synergies across our portfolio through our extended-team ecosystem, deep corporate partnerships, and a technology backbone designed to create opportunities between companies at scale. LvlUp is powered by a global team of more than 2,500 core and extended members, united by a shared mission: helping founders build enduring, category-defining companies.
