Growth Capital for Validated Startups

Submit Your Pitch

We invest in founders who have self-funded their initial development and have real customer traction. We deploy capital into proven growth—not product development.

Best fit for this investment opportunity:

  • • Real traction: actual revenue or binding contracts and commitments
  • • Founder ownership: you've invested your own time, capital, or both
  • • Ready to scale with growth capital, not development funding

What We Look For

Built, Launched, Operating

A working product that real customers are actively using—not a prototype, mockup, or concept.

Founder Ownership

You've put real skin in the game—time, capital, or both. We back founders who move first, not those waiting to be funded.

Real Traction

Actual revenue or binding contracts and commitments—not waitlists, verbal interest, or letters of intent.

Competitive Advantage

You've proven demand in your market and have a clear edge—whether it's technology, process, relationships, or expertise.

Early Signs of Scale

There's a path to something bigger. This could be growing revenue, strong unit economics, or repeatable customer acquisition.

Clear Growth Path

Specific plans to deploy capital for scaling—hiring, marketing, or operations—not product development or runway.
