Social Leverage led a seed investment in Parfour (Fund V), a modern software platform for running golf clubs, tournaments, and leagues, targeting a large and underserved market dominated by the widely disliked legacy incumbent GolfGenius. The bet is that better product, pricing, and go-to-market can win even in a tough software market, proving that strong vertical SaaS still matters despite the hype shift toward AI.
Garuda (SLAF) invested in Adora, a platform that automatically captures and maps real, live product experiences to give product teams a single visual source of truth across devices, users, and journeys. Built by operators who lived the problem, Adora replaces fragmented screenshots and analytics with interactive journey maps, replays, and insights showing exactly what customers see.
SyntheticFi (Fund V) is highlighted as one of the new providers making box-spread borrowing practical by handling the operational complexity for advisors and clients. In the piece, box spreads are framed as a “synthetic loan” that can deliver borrowing costs closer to Treasury-bill rates (often well below margin loans/SBLOCs) while also creating capital-loss deductions on the implied interest.
