Intelligence is Reinventing
How the World Works

We partner with founders who realize that vision

Intelligence is fundamentally changing the potential of what companies can be

Tola partners with founders building the next generation of intelligence companies.

We invest in:

  • Provocative ideas that show what becomes possible because artificial intelligence exists.
  • Early-stage rounds, often before traditional signals emerge.
  • Founders with vision, resilience, and conviction, traits that outlast any single market cycle.
  • Teams that know where human judgment matters, where intelligence creates efficiencies, and how to design systems that combine both.

Tola Builds Connections

Our collective – both within and outside of Tola – connects founders with the right resources at the right time. We understand when to lean in and when to step back.

Perspective

We bring decades of experience, from startup to enterprise, and work as navigators alongside founders, as they make key product, GTM, hiring, and financial decisions.

Access

Our network delivers access to respected brands that are ready to pioneer with early-stage companies. Founders skip the cold outreach and go straight to engagement. 

Outcomes

Along with  leads, we walk our portfolio companies into deals by pitching alongside founders and converting opportunities into sales.

Talent

We open doors to hard-to-source hires that most founders can’t find or vet within their network.

Ideas are abundant. Execution is not.

We are living through a time of deep disruption. For over fifteen years, Tola has invested through major technology cycles and paradigm shifts. We understand how category leaders emerge during technology discontinuities and support our founders in building long-lasting companies.

“Building a large-scale, global technology company with constant innovation at its core is a marathon. Every next level is a risk and you need advice on industry context, organizational change management, as well as strong networks. Tola played this role for hybris and for me as an entrepreneur.”
