“Right Side Capital was the first venture fund to invest in Upflex, and I’ve worked with David Lambert for 6 years now. Upflex is my 5th startup over 18 years, so I know what a value-added investor looks like. David has always been a true partner: he’s honest (in both good and bad times), solution-driven, always available, and follows through on every commitment. I’m incredibly grateful to have David and Right Side Capital as partners in our journey.”
“Right Side Capital is 'founder-friendly' in the best way. They believe in our vision and trust us to execute, while always being ready to brainstorm, solve problems, or make key introductions. We wouldn’t be as successful without Right Side Capital as our partner!”
“Right Side Capital introduced us to the lead for our Seed round and drove many intros for our Series A. They’ve also helped us fine-tune our sales and marketing processes, accelerating our growth beyond expectations. I couldn’t recommend them enough as a value-add investor on your cap table.”
Right Side Capital is one of the best firms to partner with at the Pre-Seed stage. Their process is the most efficient we’ve experienced, and their hands-on support throughout our journey has been invaluable.
Laila Zemrani, CEO & Co-Founder at Fitnescity
RSCM's unmatched engagement, insightful feedback, and vital introductions have been instrumental in our success.

At Hostfully, we’re grateful to work with Right Side Capital. They provide incredible support programs, a strong founder community, and are genuinely great people. Whether in good times or challenges, we know we can always count on them.

“You know those negative stereotypes about VCs? Right Side Capital is the antidote. Their contrarian investment philosophy—maintaining optionality and operating prudently—sets them apart. When the opportunity to go big arises, they fully support the push for a massive exit. Despite making more investments than most VCs, they’ve been hugely accretive for us.”
Tom Logan, CEO & Co-Founder at Cohley
As a founder, you’re not just looking for money—you’re looking for 'smart' money. You want a partner who is always there to help your organization grow, from sales strategies to financial planning. That’s exactly what Right Side Capital offers. It’s been the best experience I’ve ever had with an early-stage partner!
Mario Martinez Jr, FOunder & CEO at Vengreso

“RSCM invested in Parsley when no mainstream VC would, and we've grown significantly with their tremendous help. Their team of startup experts is always available, and Paul Swiencicki has been particularly invaluable in guiding our sales team and ramping up our sales. I can't recommend them highly enough.”

“Right Side Capital believed in us when no other institutional investor would. We aimed to raise $600K and, with their help, oversubscribed to $1.2M. Since then, the pet industry grew from $50B to $200B, and we’ve 100X'd our enterprise value.”

Taylor Cavanah

“I’ve raised nearly $100M in funding, and Dave Lambert and Right Side Capital have provided some of the best support and unbiased advice to scale our company. Right Side Capital knows data, strategy, scaling, and how to align with the outcomes founders want. I believe in them so much that I’m going to invest in their fund.”

Brandon Bornancin

“Right Side was the first VC I worked with, and they set the bar for all my investors. They’ve been an incredible resource as we’ve grown and raised additional rounds. Their connections are invaluable, and they’ve never hesitated to make introductions to other funds.”
