Alana Goyal is Founder and Managing Partner at Basecase Capital, an early-stage venture capital firm investing in the next generation of enterprise software. She built the firm in her mid-20s by embedding with technical teams and doing hands-on product work before raising a formal fund.

Alana studied at Columbia University and worked as a Product Manager at Samsara and Blend. She was previously a venture fellow at Rough Draft Ventures and campus scout for Sequoia Capital.

Alana is a solo GP who invests at the pre-idea and pre-company stage, focusing on deeply technical founders, solo founders, and comeback founders. She was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 in Venture Capital for 2024.

Basecase Capital raised $600,000 from Elad Gil in October 2020, then raised a $20 million fund in May 2021 from Sequoia, Greylock, and Marc Andreessen. The firm has invested in over 30 startups including Supabase and Census.

Basecase writes first checks to builders who are still dreaming and tinkering, helping founders recruit their first engineers, secure their first customers, and raise their first institutional rounds. The firm invests $1 million to $5 million in seed and Series A stages.
