OUR THESIS
Overlooked founders offer some of the most unique growth opportunities in the market. Talent is everywhere. Capital isn’t. We invest where conviction and opportunity meet—and stay close enough to help great companies grow.
HOW WE INVEST
Capital that scales with your business.
These are our typical ranges—what we’ll consider depends on stage, traction, and syndication. We think in stages, not strict rules.
STAGE 01
Pre-Seed
up to $100K
First institutional capital to turn conviction into a company.
STAGE 02
Seed
up to $500K
Fuel to find product-market fit and build the founding team.
STAGE 03
Seed+ / Series A
up to $1.5M
Growth capital to scale revenue, jobs, and statewide impact.
OUR REASON
The people we believe in
We see potential where others don't, investing in entrepreneurs and business leaders who are shaping the future of Michigan.
