Graphene Ventures

Who are Graphene Ventures?

Graphene Ventures is a venture capital firm founded in 2015, focused on direct investments in early-stage private technology companies across enterprise software and consumer technology. 

The firm operates from Palo Alto, Toronto, São Paulo, and Riyadh, backing exceptional founders and helping portfolio companies expand into multiple markets. Its investment team brings over 50 years of combined operational experience in CEO, CFO, and VC fund roles. 

The portfolio includes notable names such as Snap, Zum, Eat Just, Aquabyte, and others spanning cybersecurity, health tech, and sustainability.

Task

Graphene needed a website that reflected the firm's core identity — transparency, strength, and global reach — while serving two distinct audiences: founders looking for smart capital and investors looking to participate in the venture ecosystem.

The site had to present a growing portfolio, a geographically distributed team, and a blog with portfolio news. Clear calls to action were required for both fundraising applications and general inquiries.

It also needed to scale easily as the portfolio and content grew, without requiring developer involvement for routine updates.

Solution

• Designed and built on Framer

• Created dedicated sections for Investors, Founders, Portfolio, Team, Blog, Tools, and About, each tailored to its audience

• Built an interactive portfolio showcase with company logos, descriptions, and investment stage data

• Designed a dynamic team section with photo cards and roles

• Produced a homepage with hero video, animated transitions, and a scrolling portfolio ticker

• Connected a CMS-powered blog to keep portfolio news current without manual builds

• Integrated Typeform for funding applications and general contact inquiries
