GTMfund Raises $54 Million for Fund II, Exceeding Expectations

GTMfund, a venture capital firm known for its operator-led model, has successfully closed its second fund, raising $54 million. This surpasses their initial target of $50 million, showcasing the firm's ability to secure investments even in challenging fundraising conditions. The firm's unique approach emphasizes the importance of go-to-market strategies in startup growth.

Unlike traditional venture funds, GTMfund partners with over 300 operators who actively mentor portfolio companies.

Founded by Max Altschuler, alongside Scott Barker and Paul Irving, GTMfund continues to focus on supporting startups at early growth stages. With Fund II, they aim to provide significant backing to pre-seed, seed, and Series A startups with investments ranging from $500,000 to $1.5 million.
