Advising and investing in growth-stage tech.

Upper Bay runs finance, operations, and GTM for growth-stage technology companies, and invests through directs and secondaries.

// Our edge

We've spent years on the investing side of the table, analyzing business models and pitches. We know what a raise is evaluating, what a board wants to see, and where the numbers usually break. We've also built inside high-growth and AI companies, and use modern tooling to prioritize pace, scale, and clarity.
