About

Derisk.vc is a remote-first Venture Studio. The studio was founded by Marc Guirand, an entrepreneur and creative technologist with a background in Business Operations and Investment Banking. Derisk.vc develops, incubates, launches and “de-risks” his early-stage startups, projects and other initiatives.

Derisk.vc was inspired by Leo Polovets and his writing on Coding VC. If you’re interested in learning more, I recommend starting with How to De-Risk a Startup.
