We’re an early stage venture capital firm based in Minnesota, the Bread and Butter State, investing globally while leveraging our state and region’s unparalleled access to strong corporate connections, commercial opportunities, and industry expertise for the benefit of our founders.
WE INVEST IN SEED STAGE COMPANIES
We lead rounds in some cases, and in all cases we look to help syndicate and bring strong co-investors who can add additional value.
WE ARE COMMITTED BEYOND THE CHECK
We work hard alongside our teams after investment and support through our platform efforts to connect you with the people, resources, and partners you need to scale globally.
ESSENTIAL SECTORS
While we can and do invest broadly across a number of sectors, we are particularly dedicated to backing and supporting companies innovating in three essential backbone sectors of our economy.
AG/FOOD TECH: Food technology includes tech enabled companies operating anywhere in the food value chain. From on farm to supply chain and manufacturing to restaurants and grocery. “Tech” can be software, hardware, bio sciences, or any combination of the three.
HEALTH TECH: Healthcare technology includes the range of software and technologies geared toward advancing human health, enhancing patient outcomes, and improving healthcare systems. We invest in tech that drives value-based care and digital health.
ENTERPRISE SaaS: Enterprise technology includes the range of software and platforms that provide connective tissue for organizations (from large corporations to government to non-profits) to scale and operate effectively and for individuals within that organization to be more efficient.
