The Perfect GoGlobal Startup Profile: What We Look For Before We Partner

The Perfect GoGlobal Startup Profile: Every week, our selection committee reviews applications from around the world to find visionary founders with strong teams, proven execution, and scalable solutions. These are the innovators of tomorrow — and the companies we choose to back, advise, and sometimes even invest in.

At GoGlobal, we meet hundreds of founders from every corner of the world — each with their own vision, ambition, and potential. Yet only a select few become part of our portfolio. The reason is simple: we are deeply intentional about who we work with, because our mission is not just to support startups — it’s to scale innovators of tomorrow.

A Rigorous Selection Process

Every week, our selection committee carefully reviews all incoming applications. This isn’t just about evaluating pitch decks — it’s about understanding the people, the product, and the potential behind each company. We choose to work only with tech startups where we believe we can add significant value.

And our partnership goes beyond advisory. Depending on the company’s stage and growth strategy, we also reinvest our profits into selected portfolio startups — turning our belief in them into tangible support.

The GoGlobal Criteria: What Makes a Startup Stand Out

Over the years, we’ve refined a set of key factors that signal a company is ready for GoGlobal’s ecosystem and network. Here’s what we look for:

Stage: Late Seed → Series A/B and Beyond

We focus on startups that have moved past the idea stage and are now entering high-growth territory. Companies should have a validated product and be actively scaling.

Team: Strong Co-Founders with Proven Execution Experience

Ideas are important, but execution wins. We look for founding teams that combine visionary thinking with real-world operational expertise.

Readiness: Product in Market, Traction & Revenue

Market validation is key. Startups should already have traction — early customers, paying users, or revenue streams — proving that their solution solves a real problem.

Momentum: Clear Growth Roadmap & Investor-Grade Discipline

We value a defined strategy for scaling, along with the operational discipline that investors look for: robust data rooms, strong KPIs, and clear reporting structures.

Impact: Positive, Sustainable Businesses

We are drawn to companies that not only generate returns but also drive meaningful change — whether through sustainability, inclusion, or technological impact.

Trends: Building in the Right Spaces

We pay close attention to where innovation is headed. Startups operating in high-growth verticals — such as AI, fintech, healthtech, climate & circular economy, mobility, and edtech — are particularly aligned with our global investor network.

Beyond Capital: Strategic Advisory and Long-Term Partnership

Our approach doesn’t stop at introductions. We offer strategic advisory services that cover everything from go-to-market and fundraising strategy to investor relations and growth planning. For startups we believe in, we invest our expertise — and sometimes our capital — to help them scale globally.

Importantly, we only share advisory revenues with partners who actively contribute their expertise to the work we do. This ensures that every engagement is built on real collaboration, not passive introductions.

In Short: We Back Innovators of Tomorrow

At GoGlobal, we’re looking for more than just startups — we’re looking for teams with bold ideas, strong execution, and the discipline to scale. We want founders who think globally, build sustainably, and execute relentlessly.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to explore how we can help accelerate your journey.
