The Afore Capital x Gamma Journey
When Afore co-founder Gaurav Jain first invested in Grant Lee and the Gamma founding team, Gamma was just an idea:
What if anyone could make a beautiful presentation and communicate their ideas delightfully, with ease?
Five years later, Gamma is a $2B company with 70 million users. Effortless AI design for presentations, websites, and more – now available for everyone, everywhere.
We're excited to honor this full-circle moment and empower the next generation of founders: Gamma with the product, Afore with the capital to turn your Ideas to Reality.
Meet Afore, the Capital Behind the Ideas
Founded in 2016, Afore Capital pioneered the pre-seed investing category and remains the largest pre-seed fund by dollars invested 10 years later. We are laser-focused on supporting founders at the earliest stages of company-building—often before the company even exists. It's never too early to hear from you.

How will applications be evaluated?
The Afore Capital investing team will evaluate pitches based on founder background and market vision. We are looking for ambitious, resourceful entrepreneurs with unique insights, technical abilities or commercial superpowers, who are tackling large and/or dynamic market opportunities.
Will I be judged on the presentation polish of my Gamma pitch deck?
Gamma is founded on the belief that your ideas are brilliant and the universe deserves to see them. Pitches will be judged on the information presented, not the presentation’s visual design – leave that to Gamma!
How much can I raise? Can I raise more / less than $1M?
We plan to invest up to $1M in 10 teams out of the $10,000,000 fund. If it makes sense to invest more or less capital, we will evaluate on a case-by-case basis.

If there is a good fit, you’ll hear from us within days to weeks. Timing may vary based on application volume.
