The official roster identifies Gijs Pot as Analyst Pre-Seed. This profile applies Graduate Ventures's published strategy and does not infer undisclosed personal signing authority or a narrower individual mandate.

At firm level, Graduate Ventures is aligned with back Dutch founders from day zero, especially alumni and university-linked teams, with capital, operating support and access to an experienced national alumni network. This is firm-level guidance, not an invented personal preference.
