Focused Investment Strategy

From the number of investments we make, to the geography we cover, to the industries and entrepreneurs we invest in, there is a vision and reason behind everything we do.

 

B2B SOFTWARE & TECH-ENABLED SERVICES

We focus on industries we know well. No-brainer, right? We like to think we don’t make a lot of mistakes, but we’re happy to share what we’ve learned from the ones we did make.

THE MIDWEST

We generally invest within a 5 hour drive of our offices – even if it means pushing the speed limit a bit. That makes it possible for us to show up and be helpful whenever a face-to-face meeting would be helpful to you.

 

LEAD INVESTOR

We are lead investors, which means we will deliver a term sheet and help you build an investor syndicate, rather than expressing interest while waiting for a lead to show up and do the heavy lifting.

EARLY STAGE COMPANIES

“Early” means you have an existing product or service (and revenue) beyond the pilot stage. You might still be a few years away from profitability, but companies who have it all figured out are no fun to work with.
