True Light Ventures
Investing in people first.
Advisory for early-stage founders. Early access for investors.
For founders
The view from the other side of the table.
Most founders only see fundraising from one side. After years in venture capital at Andreessen Horowitz and AlleyCorp, I now help founders see what investors and customers see.
Fundraising readiness
Get ready before you're in the room.
- Timing: when to raise and how to know you're ready
- Storytelling: your narrative and why now
- Pitch review: deck feedback and practice pitches
- Investor diligence: what to prepare and anticipate
Go-to-market strategy
Map your path to customers and growth.
- Identifying your ideal customers and where to start
- Market positioning and value proposition
- Commercial strategy: from early traction to scalable growth
- Strategic partnerships and enterprise sales
Inside the investment process
What happens after you leave the room.
- From first meeting to investment committee
- What investors evaluate behind closed doors
- How to help your champion make the case internally
- Why a pass isn't always a no
Ongoing advisory
A thoughtful partner for the big decisions.
- Board and investor communications
- Key hiring and leadership decisions
- Strategic priorities and growth decisions
- A sounding board between raises
For investors
The best founders are often off the radar.
Some of the most compelling founders aren't fundraising yet. Having been on the investor side, I know how valuable it is to discover promising founders early and build relationships before a fundraise. I take the time to understand what investors are looking for and make thoughtful introductions when there's a strong fit.
Early access
Meet promising founders before they're actively fundraising, with time to build relationships ahead of a round.
Curated, not volume
Thoughtful introductions based on your investment thesis, stage, sector, and what you're looking for.
Real context
More than a warm introduction. I share relevant insights on the founder, business, and opportunity to help you evaluate the fit.
About Jane
Jane Suh
I'm Jane, Founder and CEO of True Light Ventures. For nearly a decade, I've worked alongside early-stage founders as an investor, board director, and company builder.
At AlleyCorp, I invested in and incubated healthcare technology companies, served on portfolio boards, and co-founded Digital Health New York (DHNY), growing it into a leading community of healthcare leaders, founders, and investors. Previously, as a Partner at Andreessen Horowitz (a16z Bio + Health), I advised more than 20 portfolio companies on go-to-market strategy, enterprise growth, and strategic partnerships.
What I love most is the earliest stage of building: helping founders turn ideas into businesses. I founded True Light Ventures to help more people find the conviction, guidance, and resources to bring their ideas to light.
