Since its inception in 2013, Seraf’s goal has been to serve early stage investors and provide the tools and resources they need to succeed. We believe taking a professional approach to early stage investing drives better returns. Having tools to track, measure, and analyze your portfolio is a necessity. Having the knowledge, insights and perspective to build a great portfolio in the first place is also a big part of success. Seraf publishes a steady stream of pieces to inform and educate our community. So much content, in fact, that we’ve had to re-organize the collection!

In the Seraf spirit of keeping organized, today we are excited to announce the launch of the all new Seraf Compass, the industry’s most comprehensive resource center providing insights, news, thought leadership and learning for early stage investors, from investment to exit.
