At California Crescent Fund, we invested 20+ portfolio companies to bridge SoCal's best talent with the capital they need. We've worked with our LPs to back outlier companies and make our impact - now, we're spinning out and ready to do it again through a new Syndicate. We're looking for founders who…Have SoCal in their DNA: 1+ founding member being a SoCal student, dropout, or alum.
