Supporting Entrepreneurs From 0 -> 1
Backing Pre-seed Founders

Find capital, operational support and guidance — before the traction, before the hype, before any ROI

Who Are We?

ROINest is a pre-seed investment firm that partners with founders who are at the idea or prototype stage. We assist new founders in going from zero traction to achieving a product-market fit, in a manner that is fast, focused and founder-first.

We’ve Been in Your Shoes

We’ve been first-time founders too, and we come from a zone of personal experience in making the transition from 0 -> 1.

We Know What it’s Like

The first 18 months in the lifetime of any business are the most difficult, with challenges from finding the right partners, to creating an MVP that can sell.

We Offer More than Capital

We offer real operational support, clear and honest feedback, and a well-developed network that opens doors early.

Who Should YOU Be?

We back founders who break the
mold — who venture out to solve problems that few even know exist.

Problem-Obsessed

We invest in founders who live and breathe a real problem, not just those with a cool idea. We value that you're here to fix something that matters.

Built to Build

Whether you're coding yourself or leading a killer team, you're hands-on from Day 1 and shipping quickly to go live (even if it's just v0.1).

More than Money

You're not just chasing a check. You're looking for partners who challenge, support, and iterate with you — every step of the way.

Your Idea Deserves a Real Shot

Start by telling us what you’re building, and why the world needs it.

Why ROINest?

We do things a little differently. As founders ourselves, we lay down a path to success that actually works for early-stage builders.

We Start With the Problem

We go deep on your problem. That’s where big, enduring companies begin. We help you pressure-test the pain point, not just the pitch.

Day 1 Builders are Welcome

Whether you’re solo or already leading a team, we back you from zero. No audience? No problem. We invest based on insight, urgency, and your ability to build.

Think Big, Launch Small

We help you balance vision with execution. We push you to think 10x — but also to ship v0.1 fast, so you can start learning on day one.

Strategic Support

We bring a mix of data, product, and brand strategy to the table. Plus, you get honest feedback, first-user intros, and go-to-market firepower when you need it most.

Built for Iteration

You’ll evolve fast — and we’re here for it. We help you interpret early signals, stay focused, and adapt quickly without losing the plot.

We Offer More than Capital

ROINest is a true partner. Expect high-conviction support, open doors, and a team that cares about your long-term upside, and not just your next round.
