Coalition Operators

Coalition Operators is an early-stage venture firm investing at pre-seed and seed. The firm targets investments of $500,000 and pairs capital with hands-on operational support drawn from a network of more than 100 vetted operators. Its stated focus is founders taking on large problems at the earliest stages, a segment where small teams typically face gaps across marketing, revenue, operations, product and engineering.

The operator network is the firm's distinguishing structural feature. More than 100 vetted operators spanning marketing, revenue, operations, product and engineering can participate in portfolio companies as angels, advisors, contractors or customers. The firm was founded by operators while they were building their own companies, and is built on the premise that experienced operators and founders on the cap table provide value beyond money.

In practical terms, that support takes the form of specific, actionable advice shaped by firsthand experience, alongside founders rather than in place of them. Coalition states that it respects founders' vision and strategy on the grounds that founders know their businesses best. The core team comprises experienced builders and investors, supplemented by the wider operator network.
