About

Side Door Ventures describes itself as a globally distributed team of founders, biotech explorers, space engineers and growth experts backing early-stage companies — a generalist mandate held together by operating background rather than by sector. It lists no single head office: its footer names Boulder, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Vancouver, and its sixteen-person team is spread across them. Daniel Dubois, a partner, is the Vancouver end of it. He presented at TechVancouver in 2017 for ShareShed, the outdoor-gear rental company he co-founded, and has since started EO & YPO Angels, now Entrepreneurs Capital. Beyond the team page and the firm's own framing, Side Door publishes little: no fund size, no founding year and no portfolio list appear on its site, and the numbers that circulate for it come from investor databases rather than from the firm.

Backers

A fund rather than an operating company. Neither its fund size nor its limited partners are published on its own site; third-party databases quote a fund figure that could not be confirmed against any first-party source.

Some figures are founder-stated, not independently confirmed
