Goose Capital

Goose Capital is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2005 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, operating as an investor group of former Fortune 500 executives, industry leaders, and serial entrepreneurs (originally the Grand Order of Successful Entrepreneurs, or GOOSE Society of Texas). The firm invests primarily at the Seed and Series A stages in breakthrough, defensible technologies, with a core focus on deep tech and tough tech, clean tech, healthcare and med tech, industrial and manufacturing tech, materials science, robotics, and fintech. Goose deploys approximately $10 million per year across roughly 20+ active portfolio companies and has invested over $55 million to date, typically participating in rounds in the $5–10 million range and occasionally leading. While the firm concentrates on U.S.-based founders, it has also backed European deep tech companies (Germany-based FibreCoat, Lidrotec, and Vivalyx). Goose does not operate on a traditional fund cycle; instead, members invest on a deal-by-deal basis, and portfolio companies receive active mentorship and board-level support. Founders can apply at any time via the online Investment Screening Form at goose.capital, which requests a pitch deck and details on traction, team, IP, and current raise.
