There is a gap in early stage investing.

Seed and A rounds have doubled and tripled in the last 3-5 years making raising actual early stage funding difficult. As “seeds” grow to 5 million plus, there is a gap in the current funding ecosystem that leaves a hole between the friends and family round and the Seed round of financing.

This is the Pre-Seed.

While waiting until the next stage of growth weeds out some companies that don’t make it, it also robs some key players of the chance to grow.

Money alone does not grow companies.  Every investor claims some sort of “smart money” investment.  But, where is that smart money coming from? Are startups being put through a program or getting actionable help from founders who have recently scaled something?

As a group of operators we see an opportunity in growing pre-seed company with not just capital, but direct experience.

Our 2019 Fund will bridge the gap, and bring real, smart, actionable opportunity and financing to the pre-seed stage.
