Growth Angel Programme

Every company gets access to a Growth Angel - providing access to GTM & sales expertise from some of the world’s top tech companies.

We recruit a Growth Angel to focus entirely on supporting your growth. These are operators with hands-on experience scaling companies like Riverlane, Hopin, Flo Health Inc., Nextdoor and Monday.com, to name a few.

How it works

Equity-free, high-impact support programme from top operators to help you go from 0 to 1. Tailored to your growth priorities, and fully founder-led. No cost, no cap table impact—just strategic firepower to supercharge your sales and go-to-market strategy.

Post-investment, we match you with a senior operator who’s been where you're going, helping you navigate the toughest early-stage challenges and accelerate your journey from 0 to 1. You set the pace — deep dives, monthly check-ins, or on-demand advice, you decide how to use them. We share a portion of the future upside to reward them for helping you win.

“Working with Naomi has leveled us up - this is what Ada is so good at across the board, and the Growth Angel programme has really helped us understand what world-class looks like and where we can go.”

Talent

Hiring the right people early matters. We connect you with expertise and support you in building a strong, scalable team from day one.

Ada founders have access to our Talent Partner. From your first hire to building a high-performing team, we help you access networks that matter and hire with confidence.

"It was great to work with Ada Ventures' Talent Partner for our Independent Board Member search and senior member of the leadership team. The support and knowledge of best practice talent hiring was invaluable. We needed this support at a crucial time and Ada was there for us."
Julia Fan Li PhD, Co-founder & CEO of Micrographia Bio

Accessing US Capital & Exits

We help you access top-tier capital and realise value.

Our best-performing companies join us on an annual “Ada by the Bay” trip to San Francisco, connecting Ada founders with top-tier US investors.

We retain an M&A specialist who supports founders as they navigate acquisition opportunities.

“Ada were hands-on throughout our raise, making critical intros that made the round possible.”
Ari Last, Founder of Bubble

Founder Welfare

Building a company is hard. We’re here to make it more sustainable.

Every founder gets access to up to 40 hours of emergency childcare for a 12 month period when they need it the most (via Bubble) and free access to anonymous mental health support (via Spill). Whether you’re a solo founder or leading a team, we’ve got your back when it matters most.

“Spill has been an important part of my journey as a Founder and helped me with actionable techniques to maintain mental clarity during key inflection points of the company’s growth.”
Dr Amber Hill PhD, CEO & Founder, Research Grid
