Gaurav Jain

Co-founder, Managing Partner·Afore Capital

San Francisco, California, United States

Gaurav Jain is Co-founder and Managing Partner at Afore Capital. The firm's official site positions Afore as a Day 0 pre-seed investor that backs pre-traction and pre-everything companies, with $500k to $2M+ checks from a $500M fund. Public reporting says Jain began his career at Google as an early Android product manager, later worked with Founder Collective, and co-founded Afore in 2016 to serve founders who were too early for traditional seed rounds. Business Insider reported in 2025 that Afore is a generalist pre-seed firm that tends to gravitate toward software and AI investments.
