11 Tribes

Mark Philips, Kristina Chapel

11 Tribes Ventures invests in purpose-driven entrepreneurs who are committed to transforming communities while building profitable businesses. They focus on founders who prioritize employee care, lead with integrity, and can scale sustainably without burnout.

11 Tribes Ventures

Mark Phillips

11 Tribes Ventures is 'the firm where capital & care converge' -- a founder-first fund built on the conviction that healthy, resilient founders produce healthy returns, explicitly rejecting growth-at-all-costs in favor of capital-efficient, sustainable businesses. It writes $1M-$1.5M checks at Seed through Series A, typically at $10M-$20M post-money valuations for companies with $500K-$2M ARR, underwriting to 10X liquidity and targeting strategic exits in the $75M-$300M range. Its Handshake Agreement commits real support across Talent & Culture, Financial Discipline, and Founder Resilience, including non-dilutive capital (~2% of each investment) for coaching and founder development. For founder matching, 11 Tribes is strongest for revenue-generating, capital-efficient founders in SaaS, fintech, healthtech, and AI -- humble, hungry, smart, with real founder-market fit -- who value wellbeing-oriented partnership over blitzscaling; pre-revenue or unicorn-or-bust profiles are a weak fit.

1752vc

Ben Kahan

1752vc is a founder-focused venture platform and accelerator designed to help early-stage startups move from potential to investable traction. The firm combines capital, mentorship, diligence, GTM support, sales programming, storytelling, investor readiness, and access to a broad investor/operator network. For founder matching, 1752vc is strongest for pre-seed and seed founders who need hands-on acceleration, clearer positioning, customer and investor narrative support, sales motion refinement, and warm access to early-stage capital and mentors rather than only a passive check.

53 Stations

Jason Pritzker

53 Stations backs founders building enduring, market-leading businesses, investing across sectors where the firm has deep network advantage and keeping explicit flexibility to follow conviction over thesis -- stage agnostic and sector agnostic by design, with an average check of ~$5M (actual checks have ranged from ~$100K to $30M). It positions itself as what a family-office-backed fund looks like done right: the flexibility and permanence of a single LP (The Pritzker Organization's 70+ year legacy) combined with institutional infrastructure and rigor, plus a flywheel network spanning enterprise buyers, operators, family offices, YPO, Kauffman Fellows, health systems, and the contech and nuclear communities. For founder matching, 53 Stations is strongest for founders with an n-of-one vision, fast iteration speed, and proven ability to recruit exceptional talent -- at nearly any stage or sector -- who need larger flexible checks, patient permanent capital, and introductions to buyers and operators most funds cannot access.

CORE FIT: Early-stage technology startups, with the submitted response emphasizing AI, B2B SaaS, enterprise technology, deep tech, and robotics. STAGE & CHECK: Pre-seed through Series A; the intake selected check-size bands from $1M through $5M+, so $1M is the reliable lower bound and the upper bound should be confirmed for each opportunity. TRACTION SIGNALS: Because no formal revenue threshold was provided, match on evidence appropriate to stage—technical proof, design partners, early customers, usage, retention, or a credible path from innovation to commercial adoption. FOUNDER SIGNALS: Technically credible, product-oriented teams with a strong insight, high learning velocity, and the ability to recruit exceptional talent. BUSINESS MODEL FIT: Enterprise SaaS, AI applications or infrastructure, developer and workflow tools, robotics platforms, and deep technology with a scalable commercial model. PRODUCT/MOAT SIGNALS: Proprietary technology, difficult engineering, data advantage, workflow depth, or a product that can become core infrastructure. GEOGRAPHY: Utah-based with no narrower investment boundary stated; Utah/Silicon Slopes founders may benefit from stronger ecosystem proximity. DEAL ROLE/OWNERSHIP: Not publicly specified in the reviewed materials—confirm lead/follow appetite and target ownership before scoring deal dynamics. SOFT MISMATCHES: Later-stage companies, undifferentiated software, or deep-tech projects without a believable commercialization path. PORTFOLIO SIGNALS FROM INTAKE: Mindgard and Aivatu. INTRODUCE WHEN: A technically differentiated early-stage founder is raising an institutional round and can demonstrate both product depth and a credible commercial wedge.

Capital Eleven

Cam Zavell

CORE FIT: Pre-seed and seed companies across a broad technology and consumer mandate, with submitted first checks of $250K-$500K. STAGE: Best for the first or early institutional round; Series B and later are outside the stated first-check focus. TRACTION SIGNALS: A credible team-market fit, a sharp problem definition, early product evidence, initial customers or consumer demand, and a capital-efficient plan to reach the next financing milestone. FOUNDER SIGNALS: Visionary, resourceful entrepreneurs who move quickly, understand their customer, and welcome practical operator input. BUSINESS MODEL FIT: AI and enterprise software, fintech, commerce, healthtech, logistics, proptech, retail technology, media, future of work, and selected consumer/food-and-beverage products. GEOGRAPHY: Headquartered in the Boise area with no formal investment boundary stated; Intermountain West ties may increase relationship fit. DEAL ROLE/OWNERSHIP: Not specified in the intake or reviewed official materials—confirm whether Capital Eleven intends to lead, follow, or participate through a specific vehicle. VALUE-ADD: Operator perspective plus potential access to a broader platform spanning venture, private equity/operations, M&A advisory, strategic advisory, and corporate finance. SOFT MISMATCHES: Later-stage financings, large capital needs beyond the stated check, unclear milestones, or opportunities where the broad platform adds little strategic relevance. PORTFOLIO PATTERN: Tovuti, Fitted, Teal, Paxi, LeanLaw, Soiltech, Brite, and other technology and consumer investments. INTRODUCE WHEN: An early founder needs a $250K-$500K strategic investor and can clearly explain how the capital reaches a concrete validation or growth milestone.

Chicago Ventures

Rob Chesney

Chicago Ventures gives founders better odds by backing builders in industries others overlook, on the belief that enduring companies can be built anywhere, by anyone. The firm leads pre-seed and seed rounds before it's obvious -- typical first check $500K-$2M targeting 10%+ ownership at first close -- takes board seats, and acts as an active, operationally-involved partner from day one, with high-conviction fast decisions and hands-on talent, customer, and follow-on introductions after the check clears. Generalist by mandate, it has its deepest pattern recognition in fintech, supply chain, healthcare, construction, and legal tech. For founder matching, CV is strongest for North American founders in overlooked or unglamorous markets -- especially vertical SaaS in industrial and regulated niches -- with earned grit and inside-out market insight, who genuinely want an involved lead with a board seat rather than passive capital.

Commerce Ventures

Hiya Shah

CORE FIT: Early-stage infrastructure for the future of retail and financial services. The strongest matches fit Commerce Ventures’ Shop, Spend, Secure or Save framework: retail and e-commerce enablement; payment infrastructure; insurance underwriting, servicing and operations; and software powering banks and financial institutions. Current themes include stablecoin-enabled B2B payments, agentic commerce, AI for accounting/audit workflows and commercial-credit infrastructure. STAGE & CHECK: Seed and Series A are the clearest fit, with selective Series B or later participation; $100K-$3M indicated in the event intake. PRODUCT/TRACTION: Commerce prefers market-ready solutions with early customer adoption—not merely an idea or prototype. Strong evidence includes enterprise pilots, merchant/financial-institution adoption, transaction volume, retention, workflow ROI or distribution partners. BUSINESS MODEL: B2B software, APIs, infrastructure and embedded-finance products that enable other businesses to serve customers better. ROUND ROLE: Typically does not lead, but invests with conviction. FOUNDER/TEAM: Deep understanding of retail, payments, insurance or banking workflows and willingness to use the firm’s strategic network in diligence and growth. VALUE ADD: Customer, distribution, advisor and executive access through a specialized commerce network. CAUTION: The intake response about companies that previously raised $1M appears inconsistent with the stated stages/checks; treat prior-capital history as a manual verification item, not an automatic exclusion. BEST INTRO: A market-ready Seed/A commerce or fintech infrastructure company with early institutional adoption and a clear strategic use for Commerce Ventures’ network.

Frazier VC

Kendall Frazier

CORE FIT: Capital-efficient Seed and Series A companies in B2B SaaS, enterprise software, healthcare/tech-enabled services, fintech, AI, and other defensible technology categories. STAGE & CHECK: $250K-$2M+ initial checks, meaningful follow-on reserves, and approximately $25M in annual venture deployment. The firm frequently leads, serves on boards, acts as an advisor, and is also comfortable participating in a syndicate. TRACTION SIGNALS: Teams beyond initial ideation and ready to scale; the FAQ references roughly $1M-$2M in revenue as a common stage marker, while the main site describes a broader $1M-$5M revenue range. Strong vision may compensate for earlier traction when the team and opportunity are exceptional. FOUNDER SIGNALS: Passion, honesty, capital efficiency, long-term thinking, defensibility, and appreciation for patient, even-tempered partners. BUSINESS MODEL FIT: Recurring-revenue software, AI/data platforms, fintech, healthcare technology, and tech-enabled services with clear paths to value creation. GEOGRAPHY: Primarily Utah, then the broader Mountain West; national co-investment is possible when the opportunity fits. VALUE-ADD: Fast decisions, hands-on guidance, customer/talent/recruiter introductions, board/advisory support, and 30+ years of Utah ecosystem relationships. SOFT MISMATCHES: Pure idea-stage teams without strong evidence or exceptional insight, capital-intensive models lacking efficiency, and opportunities where hands-on regional support adds little value. INTRODUCE WHEN: A Mountain West founder has early revenue or strong defensible validation, is raising Seed/A capital, and wants a fast, active long-term partner.

Kickstart

Kat Kennedy

CORE FIT: Scrappy, ambitious, often technical founders building generational companies in the Mountain West. Kickstart is a generalist with active interest in AI, B2B SaaS, fintech, healthtech, marketplaces, consumer tech, and frontier/physical technology including space, quantum, photonics, robotics, defense, aerospace, and chip infrastructure. STAGE & CHECK: Pre-seed and seed are the core; occasional Series A. Initial checks are $500K-$4M, with significant follow-on reserves. Kickstart leads, sets terms, builds syndicates, and usually takes a board seat on priced seed rounds. OWNERSHIP/SECURITY: Typically targets 12%-15% ownership in a priced seed; often uses SAFEs at pre-seed and prefers priced rounds at seed. TRACTION SIGNALS: Revenue is not required. At pre-seed, the team, unique insight, technical talent, domain expertise, prototype, and size of the opportunity can carry the case. At seed, customer evidence and a clear path to Series A strengthen fit. FOUNDER SIGNALS: Grit, non-consensus thinking, obsession, technical or domain depth, capital efficiency, honesty, and willingness to take a very large swing. GEOGRAPHY: The founding team's center of gravity should be in the Mountain West; remote-first is acceptable when at least one co-founder is in-region. VALUE-ADD: Hiring, customer and operator introductions, follow-on fundraising, syndication, board support, and a deep regional founder network. HARD CONFLICT: Will not fund a direct portfolio competitor. SOFT MISMATCHES: Teams fully outside the Mountain West, modest-ambition opportunities, or founders seeking passive capital. PORTFOLIO PATTERN: Lucid Software, Podium, Angel Studios, Spiff, SonderMind, Music AI, Rad AI, Nursa, Leap, Straddle, and Galileo. INTRODUCE WHEN: An in-region early founder has a unique insight, a large outcome potential, and wants a high-conviction lead who can anchor the round.

Kavon Badie

CORE FIT: B2B technology companies from pre-seed through Series A with products that customers can quickly learn, love and adopt. Mighty uses its Product Alpha Effect—signals from a 600,000+ product-leader network—to identify product outliers before traditional revenue metrics fully mature. STAGE & CHECK: $200K at inception through $5M+ at Series A. ROUND ROLE: Leads most rounds it enters and emphasizes founder-control-aligned terms. TRACTION: Stage-appropriate product evidence, customer value, loyalty/retention, a credible sales pipeline, repeatable growth drivers and clear unit economics. Pre-revenue can fit when product and market signals are exceptional; later rounds should show stronger predictability and velocity. FOUNDER/TEAM: Convicted, data-driven founders tackling a large, difficult problem; strong listening skills, ethical governance, talent magnetism and an ambitious but responsible financial plan. PRODUCT/MOAT: Sustainably differentiated solution, clear product roadmap, defensibility, connected-system/data advantage and a product experience buyers value. BUSINESS MODEL: Enterprise SaaS, vertical software, AI applications/infrastructure, cybersecurity, healthtech and other B2B products with scalable recurring or usage-based economics. VALUE ADD: Commercial access to 600,000+ CPOs and product managers, customer leads, product feedback and active company-building support. EXCLUSIONS: None explicit; consumer-only, services-heavy, non-tech or weakly differentiated products are materially weaker fits. BEST INTRO: A pre-seed-to-Series A B2B technology founder with unusually strong product signals, credible customer value and a round where Mighty can lead and accelerate commercial adoption.

Mucker Capital

Danny Pantuso

Mucker Capital is 'blue collar VC, for the rest of us' -- backing founders building real businesses in unsexy industries across the US and Canada, far beyond the Bay Area, with checks from $150K to $8M spanning pre-seed through Series B+, and always leading the round. The firm underwrites growth, not R&D: it prizes scrappy pre-raise builders, treats revenue as the new bar, and looks for AI maniacs who ship every day while thinking strategically rather than tactically. Founders get roll-up-your-sleeves company building plus 300+ Mucker Operating Experts across sales, growth, pricing, product, and hiring; 97% of MuckerLab startups have gone on to raise outside capital. For founder matching, Mucker is strongest for revenue-generating vertical SaaS and agentic AI founders in blue-collar, industrial, or legacy sectors -- especially Midwest and other non-coastal teams -- who need a lead investor with hands-on operating support; pre-revenue R&D projects and hype-driven consumer plays are a weak fit.

New Stack Ventures

Nick Moran

New Stack Ventures invests in outsiders: 80%+ of venture capital goes to Silicon Valley insiders, yet many iconic companies were built by founders who didn't attend Stanford, work for Big Tech, or live in the Bay Area -- and New Stack exists to back exactly those mission-driven, non-traditional founders. It leads or co-leads Angel, Pre-Seed, and Seed rounds with $500K-$1.5M checks and is comfortable from pre-revenue through pilots/POCs and early commercialization, making it one of the few between-the-coasts funds that will lead a pre-revenue round. Built on The Full Ratchet (the first VC podcast, 90K+ subscribers), the firm holds relationships with founding and general partners at 90% of Tier 1 firms and makes direct decision-maker introductions when portfolio companies are ready for Series A. For founder matching, New Stack is strongest for non-pedigree founders headquartered between the coasts building in vertical AI, fintech, healthcare, industrials, hardware, or deep tech who need a conviction lead at the earliest stage and a bridge to top-tier follow-on capital.

Next Frontier Capital

Franz Kofler

CORE FIT: Mission-driven Seed and Series A companies in AI/data, B2B software, cybersecurity, fintech, climate, deep tech, and defense technology. STAGE & CHECK: $2M-$5M investments; the firm seeks double-digit ownership at entry and an active board relationship. TRACTION SIGNALS: A working core product, referenceable customers, strong proof of principle, and evidence that the team can turn technical differentiation into a scalable commercial opportunity; there is no strict revenue threshold. FOUNDER SIGNALS: Strong execution history, mission orientation, domain credibility, intellectual honesty, and openness to active investor involvement. BUSINESS MODEL FIT: Enterprise SaaS, security and infrastructure software, AI/data platforms, fintech infrastructure, climate solutions, defense systems, and defensible deep technology. PRODUCT/MOAT SIGNALS: Proprietary data, technical IP, security advantage, hard-to-replicate workflow integration, regulated-market expertise, or a meaningful cost/performance breakthrough. ROUND DYNAMICS: Best when the company wants a high-conviction institutional partner capable of board participation—not passive capital only. GEOGRAPHY: No formal restriction is stated, but the firm's Bozeman, Boulder, and Utah offices create an especially strong Mountain West network. HARD/LOW-PRIORITY SECTORS: Crypto, healthcare IT, med/bio tech, consumer SaaS, social networks, ad tech, and CPG. PORTFOLIO PATTERN: Mindsmith, GetWhys, Dreadnode, Freeplay, Paramify, Reveal Technology, Hoonify, 401GO, King Energy, Bridger Photonics, and Submittable. INTRODUCE WHEN: A technical B2B founder is raising a $2M-$5M Seed/A round, has referenceable validation, and wants an active board partner.

CORE FIT: Growth-stage technical companies that can become systems of intelligence. The submitted mandate was sector-agnostic at Series B through growth, while SevenTrain’s current operating thesis sharpens the best matches into three vectors: enterprise/agentic AI above enterprise data; physical AI and construction/AEC intelligence in the built world; and emerging quantum-plus-AI infrastructure. STAGE & CHECK: Series B, Series C+ and growth; $5M+ initial check indicated, with no reliable upper bound stated. TRACTION: Strongest matches have proven product-market fit, meaningful enterprise adoption, repeatable GTM, strong growth, referenceable customers and a clear use of substantial growth capital. FOUNDER/TEAM: Technical or repeat founders with exceptional domain credibility, executive presence and the ability to sell into large enterprises or complex industrial markets. PRODUCT/MOAT: Proprietary data and decisioning, low-latency/high-accuracy intelligence, workflow depth, physical-world data capture, robotics/automation or defensible computational IP. CUSTOMER: Banks, financial institutions, capital markets, commerce companies, Fortune 500 enterprises, general contractors, owners, developers, manufacturers and strategic/sovereign buyers. VALUE ADD: Enterprise deployment, AI GTM, executive briefings, AEC buyer access and a CVC/family-office network spanning the U.S., India and Latin America. CAUTION: The current public thesis is more concentrated than the broad event-sector list, so generic growth companies without enterprise AI, physical AI/AEC or quantum relevance should be manually reviewed. BEST INTRO: A Series B+ technical or repeat founder with enterprise-scale proof and a specific path into SevenTrain’s AI, built-world or strategic-capital network.

SixThirty is a global venture firm investing in enterprise technology at the intersection of money, health, and privacy, from first check to early growth -- organized around four thesis pillars (The Modern Portfolio, Income, Bank 2.0, and Health/Wealth & Property) underpinned by privacy and information security. It writes checks of $100K up to $5M, generally at Seed through Series A, into 8-12 companies per year, and operates on the principle that revenue is the best form of capital. Its defining value-add is a force-multiplier go-to-market program connecting startups with category-leading corporate LPs -- Edward Jones, BNY, Commerce Bank, Shelter Insurance, RGA, Allianz, Franklin Templeton, World Wide Technology, and Unum -- who mentor, pilot, buy, and distribute. For founder matching, SixThirty is strongest for B2B founders in fintech, insurtech, wealthtech, digital health, and cybersecurity/privacy with an enterprise sales motion who need pilots, incumbent partnerships, and warm distribution into financial services, insurance, and healthcare; pure consumer plays are a weak fit.

STAGE & CHECK: The event intake spans pre-seed through growth and indicates $1M through $5M+; no reliable upper limit was stated. Sorenson operates separate early-stage and growth strategies: early-stage generally covers pre-revenue through less than $5M ARR, while growth generally targets companies above $5M ARR. PRODUCT/TRACTION: Sorenson wants to begin with a product demo. Early matches need a distinctive product, clear customer pain and evidence of PMF formation; growth matches need product leadership, enterprise retention, repeatable/predictable GTM and efficient expansion. FOUNDER/TEAM: Product-oriented, technically credible, collaborative founders who want detailed operational partnership. MOAT: Mission-critical workflow, strong switching costs, proprietary technical/data advantage, developer adoption, security depth or durable product leadership. VALUE ADD: Foundational customer introductions, channel partners, leadership hiring, business-model optimization, pipeline and conversion analytics, retention/upsell improvement and scaling playbooks. EXCLUSIONS: Consumer-only platforms and complex hardware. BEST INTRO: A product-led B2B software founder with a compelling demo, clear enterprise customer value and stage-appropriate evidence—routed to the correct early or growth vehicle.

The phrase 'fuel on already burning fires' signals a preference for early proof of consumer pull rather than an idea alone. TRACTION SIGNALS: Strong early sales velocity, repeat purchase or retention, organic social engagement, community growth, retailer or distribution momentum, creator adoption, and clear brand-market fit. FOUNDER SIGNALS: Exceptional storytellers with authentic category insight, fast execution, strong product taste, and willingness to collaborate with creators and athletes.

PORTFOLIO PATTERN: Oura, Olipop, Magic Spoon, Pura, Graza, Oats Overnight, MrBeast, Hyperice, and other social-native consumer winners. INTRODUCE WHEN: A founder can show both a compelling consumer story and measurable early product love, and Spacestation's creator network can materially accelerate growth.

May Takahashi’s contact-level emphasis is FinTech and blockchain, while the firm also actively backs AI, cybersecurity, mobility, digital health, Industry 4.0/robotics, sustainability, retail/e-commerce, cloud/data and interactive media. STAGE & CHECK: $500K minimum; the intake included bands through $5M+, but no reliable upper bound was stated. Series A is the firm-wide center of gravity; pre-seed and Series D+ are outside the submitted focus. TRACTION: Strongest matches have a market-ready product, early institutional customers or pilots, technical proof, and a credible path to commercial scale. FOUNDER/TEAM: Domain-expert, globally ambitious teams that can use corporate relationships for customers, channels, suppliers or geographic expansion. MOAT: Proprietary technology, regulated-market expertise, data/IP, technical performance or a durable enterprise workflow. ROUND BEHAVIOR: Lead/follow, ownership and board requirements were not stated and should be confirmed. GEOGRAPHY: Global, concentrated in North America, Western Europe and Asia. VALUE ADD: Hands-on strategy and introductions to 40+ Asian multinationals for customer, partner, supplier and expansion relationships. AVOID: Capex-heavy models, pre-seed companies, Series D+ first checks, and companies with no plausible Asia or enterprise-network advantage. BEST INTRO: A Seed-Series B fintech, blockchain, AI or enterprise/deep-tech founder with validated demand and a specific Asia customer, channel or expansion opportunity.
