What we give a sh*t about:
Transparency is at the forefront of our fund. Here’s some information about how we guide investment decisions:
Here’s what we do:
We write $250K checks into pre-seed and seed rounds
We can lead a round or follow on
We will introduce you to new hires, more capital, and be your best advocate
We’ll work alongside you to scale your business, supporting most critically with strategy
For example —> we participated in CollX’s seed round (a philly based Co) and intro’d them to the lead investors.
Here’s how we evaluate opportunities:
There’s no bullshit to our investment strategy. We literally run through the parameters on the right to grade if its a fit for the fund.
This idea to be data-driven first was born out of frustration that VC’s follow the herd. We don’t care if you’re talking to XYZ funds; we want to invest in people that will build billion dollar companies.
Here’s an example of the metrics we look for:
We are very transparent investors. Beyond giving you a scorecard to show you how we grade investment opportunities, we also give you a matrix to understand the range that we like to be in for our investments.
This matrix would fit for a consumer marketplace company, but the same ideas would apply for a B2b company.
