At Social Planet, we partner with visionary companies that have the potential to shape a better society 🌍. Our mission is to go beyond just investing—we help startups build a strong foundation that accelerates growth and maximizes impact. Did you know that only 1 in 5 startups successfully transition from Seed to Series A? 🚀 On average, these companies raise between $2.5M–$3M across Pre-Seed, Seed, Seed+, and Seed extension rounds, and takes 24–36 months from seed to series A. However, success isn’t evenly distributed. Some funds achieve far higher conversion rates, and surprisingly (or not), it’s not linked to the size of the fund. This underscores the importance of selecting the right investor—one who can truly make a difference in your journey. At Social Planet, we specialize in funding early-stage startups — Pre-Seed and Seed — but we don’t stop there. We believe in being hands-on. Not because we lack faith in the founding teams, but because we know that by working together, we can accelerate growth and increase the chances of securing that critical Series A funding and the chance of impacting at scale. With decades of experience in venture capital and building successful products, we understand that speed and precision in the early stages can define long-term success. That’s why we want to work side-by-side with the startups we invest in—helping them get the most important steps right from the beginning. If you’re looking for more than just capital, if you want a partner who will help you build, scale, and thrive, we’re here to help you turn potential into reality.
