Are you a founder looking for early-stage funding? Look no further! We are a small private fund that specializes in providing early checks of up to $50,000 for founders. Unlike traditional venture capital firms, we operate as a private fund and focus on pre-seed, seed, and angel stages. If you’re in the early stages of your startup journey and need financial support, we might be the right fit for you.
Check Size: Up to $50K per Check
Our fund offers checks of up to $50,000 per investment. We understand that in the early stages, every dollar counts, and our goal is to provide the necessary financial boost to help you take your startup to the next level. Whether you need funding for product development, marketing, or hiring, our checks can help fuel your growth.
Non-Financial Value Proposition
Aside from financial support, we also offer non-financial value to our portfolio companies. Our limited partners (LPs) have extensive experience in the ecommerce and payments industries in Southeast Asia. Their expertise and network can provide invaluable guidance and mentorship to founders, helping them navigate the challenges of building a successful startup.
Industries and Verticals
We have a particular interest in startups operating in the fields of AI, CPG (consumer packaged goods), and Climate. If your startup falls within these industries, we would love to hear from you. However, we are open to considering startups from other sectors as well, as long as they align with our investment thesis and have strong growth potential.
Geographical Focus
While we consider startups from various locations, we primarily source startups based out of San Francisco, Los Angeles, and London. Our physical office is located in downtown Berkeley, which allows us to have a close proximity to the vibrant startup ecosystems in these cities. If you are based in any of these areas, we encourage you to reach out to us.
Our Funding Source
Our funds come from private LPs (limited partners) in Southeast Asia. These LPs have a strong interest in supporting early-stage startups and believe in the potential of founders like you. By partnering with us, you not only gain access to financial resources but also tap into a network of experienced investors who understand the unique challenges and opportunities in the startup landscape.
When to Reach Out
If you have a prototype or minimum viable product (MVP) to showcase, along with a pitch deck, we encourage you to reach out to us. We are particularly excited to work with founders who have already tested product-market fit (PMF) and are ready to scale their business. However, we are also open to considering promising founders at the ideation stage, as we believe in supporting early-stage innovation.
