Thesis

Place matters. Exceptional founders who deliberately build in rural communities create stronger, more resilient companies. We provide first-check capital to founders with vision, grit, and roots—because we believe culture-aligned companies outperform.

Likely not a fit for

No coastal relocations required. We reject the notion that exceptional founders must move to traditional venture hubs. We also avoid service-based businesses and real estate-based businesses.
