Venture capital systematically overlooks innovation from Black, Brown, women, LGBTQ+, and disabled founders. We back high-potential underrepresented founders in the Midwest and South, addressing the geographic and demographic gaps in traditional coastal VC. The talent is here—between the coasts—and deserves institutional capital and ecosystem support.
Likely not a fit for
Coastal-only founders without Midwest/South connection, founders misaligned with diversity mission, sector-agnostic investing without founder quality focus
