Great Oaks Venture Capital is a New York and San Francisco based Seed and Series A venture fund. We primarily focus on Consumer, Enterprise and Healthcare startups headquartered in NY or SF, and typically invest $50K to $500K per deal. We are one of the most active seed investors in the New York region and have an extensive network throughout the United States comprised of leading tech founders, peer venture investors and specific industry specialists.
