WHO WE ARE
We are a member-based, venture capital fund focused on early stage private companies, powered by The Motley Fool’s brand, investing approach, and communities.
We look for the following characteristics in our portfolio companies:
– Early-stage companies (often described as “Series A,” though stage labels can be arbitrary)
– Inspiring founders who leverage technology to create a clear competitive advantage and/or disrupt their industry
– Companies from a variety of industries and geographic locations (our current portfolio includes investments in such sectors as HR & CultureTech, FinTech, HealthTech, FoodTech, ConstructionTech, and LegalTech, but we are not limited to those sectors)
– Revenue between $500,000 (annualized) and $5 million
– Current pre-money valuation between $10 million and $50 million
– We initially invest $500,000 to approx. $2 million, leaving room for follow-on investment
– We seek initial ownership of 5% to 20%, non-controlling
– Through our investments, we aim to make our portfolio represent our best vision for the future
