We invest in Midwest based founders at the Pre-Seed and Seed stages (from pre-revenue to $750K of annual revenue) across most industries (no life sciences or vices).

We lead, co-lead, and participate in $500K-$2.5M rounds with our check size of $250K-$750K for an ownership target of 10%. Since launching in 2015, we’ve backed 140+ teams/startups including Kin, Astronomer, Loop, Branch, and Authenticx (we aim to invest in 10-12 new teams a year).
