Our Approach
Partners to Founders
Founders don't just create startups; they shape the future and inspire new innovators. We focus on building strong relationships from the start, helping them achieve breakthroughs. We don't just write checks, but develop meaningful relationships at the point of inception. We don't wait for proof. We are right alongside taking the leap with you.
Stewards to Limited Partners
Our commitment to our LPs is second to none. Cultivating our unique opportunities, we offer diverse access across sectors, stages, and geographies.
Through close collaboration and thoughtful strategy, we design investment products tailored to their specific requirements.
Our investments, both funds and companies, define the future of venture capital.
Think Different & Dream Big
We don't hunt deals, we farm category-defining companies. We cultivate and nurture the most promising ideas and founders.
While others chase "hot" opportunities, we cultivate breakthrough ideas from garages to the NYSE.
This patient approach allows us to support the boldest platform funds and companies.
Founder Testimonials
"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.”
Garry Tan
CEO of Y Combinator
“Special thank you to Transpose Platform and Alex Bangash. First in, biggest champion, great friend. No Alex, No Fund.”

"Transpose Platform Fund has been incredible partners to Atomic over multiple years and funds."
Alex 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."
Chester Ng
Partner of Atomic, Co-Founder of Sweetlab, Serial Entrepreneur, took companies public
“I mean every word. Alex is 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.”

"A lot of benefits of the Transpose Program..."
“have been having access to people that really built interesting tools, John with Sendbird, Chris with LogDNA, Sumon with UI Flow. These are all operators that have built businesses and have expertise, really making that investment into a founder and supporting them through the journey. Alex and Trang are some of our most supportive investors. The Transpose team has an amazingly deep network of LPs and connections across many different industries. Having them has been instrumental in finding some of our earliest pilot customers. We would highly recommend anyone considering Transpose to add them to your team."
Alex Haro
Co-Founder & Chairman of Hubble Networks and Founder & Chairman of Life360 (ASX)
"We have been so lucky to partner with Alex from so early on in EF's journey."
They gave us the most precious resource - belief. They believed in us when everyone else thought we were crazy. They are some of the most well connected people in tech and are immensely generous with their network, time and energy. I feel so lucky to get to work so closely with them and would highly recommend them to other founders and GPs. Trang and Alex's advice and strategic guidance has been invaluable. In particular, helping us think through the challenges and opportunities of entering different countries and then opening up their networks to make it as easy as possible for us. We are so grateful for their support that has constantly pushed us forward."
