About us
FOG Ventures was created to invest and support innovative founders that are helping create toolbox 2.0 for the modern day Office of the Operator (CEO, CFO, COO, People/Talent, Biz Ops, Strategy, RevOps).
Unlike most VC financing, we’re not just investing in what we believe in
as active operators, we’re investing in products we actually use.

Who we are?
The origin
OG began as a peer network solving real scaling problems across finance, operations, product, and growth. As the community grew, one pattern was obvious: a new type of business leader was in demand and professionalizing - the Scaler — elite cross-functional, business-first; function-second builders operating in high stakes, hyperspeed and scale.
FOG emerged to invest in the modern operating tool stack required for operators to succeed in a world-class competitive environment.

For operators. By operators.
FOG Ventures (FOG = “For Operators Guild”) was birthed out of the Operators Guild, the preeminent global community of the top tech operators who build and scale category-defining companies.
We formed FOG to give operators to invest in the people and products modernizing the operator tool stack — and to give founders direct access to the customers and talent who will determine their trajectory.

Who we are?
Truly Strategic: Buyers and Builders
Connecting capital with
operational expertise.
Capital has become plentiful. What has become increasingly “rare elements” are the same finite customers and talent that the well-funded companies are all after. FOG Ventures is the investing arm of Operators Guild (OG), the leading global community of tech operators, giving founders direct access to the people who buy, implement, and scale the modern operating stack.
Build for the best companies.
We back the software, infrastructure, and AI systems that power how the best companies run — finance, ops, GTM, data, and the connective tissue between them.
We are stage-agnostic and category-focused, looking for teams that build the leading product in every operator category.

Early system for tech adoption.
Our 1,500+ FOG members are CFOs, COOs, RevOps, BizOps, product, and engineering leaders. They are both the builders and the buyers inside the world’s leading tech companies, so early signal, traction and adoption show up within FOG first.
