About Immigrant Groove

We invest in outstanding. On our team is the CoFounder of Venmo (Iqram), Stevie Wonder's Choir director (Marlon) and Harry Belafonte's musical director (Mamadou). This concoction is unusual in venture capital, but often, the most influential legacies are built from intangibles.

We have vast experience building with, investing in, and collaborating with people that have reached billions of people. We do not claim to know what we're doing. In fact, we are so bullish on our people, that after we back you, we trust you to fully execute on your vision -- you will rarely hear from us, unless to celebrate big wins or when you need help sorting through challenges. We are always available as a sounding board, and we'll do our best to help you wherever possible. 

This is why we wrote "Help Somebody."

We go out of our way, and work as hard as we can to ensure you feel supported, and you have the best possible chance at success.

We are addicted to taking bets on outstanding people. To date, no founder has refused a check from us. We plan to keep it that way.
