About Floodgate
Floodgate, co-founded by Mike Maples Jr. and Ann Miura-Ko, was an early champion of the "seed is a distinct stage" thesis rather than treating it as a smaller version of Series A. It invests across consumer, enterprise, and deep tech, and was an early backer of several companies that went on to redefine their categories, including Twitter and Lyft.
