N Capital

We are driven by our relationships with small businesses and helping companies succeed. A letter from our President We founded Advantage Capital in 1992 with a dual mission: to bring businesses, technologies and jobs to communities that have historically lacked access to investment capital, while also generating competitive returns for our investors.‍ From the start, Advantage Capital has been an innovator in raising private institutional capital to invest in businesses located in states and communities that are underserved by traditional sources of risk capital. We are committed to helping our portfolio companies, and their communities, thrive long after our relationship has ended. Looking forward, we see tremendous opportunity to create a significant impact in the years to come. We intend to continue - and build upon - our mission of generating substantial value for our small businesses, investors and communities. - Steven Stull

Fil Rouge Capital (FRC) is an investment fund manager whose funds focus on early stage businesses from pre-seed, seed, and Series A rounds of investment. ManifestoWe love building and being part of an entrepreneurial ecosystem where everybody plays their role. We want to make the Croatian entrepreneurial ecosystem the best in class so expect to see a lot of us because this is what we want to achieve! Our reputation is our wealth. We always stand behind our founders, in good and bad times, we mean it, you will see! We hate getting the “long yes” so we never give …the “long yes”. We love bold founders and we provide “Capital for the Bold”. Get it? We at FRC have “been there, done that”. Our combined M&A and financing track records exceed $4B. We didn’t always get it right, but we’re not ashamed of it. We can give continuous support to our startups from incubation and acceleration to scale-up and exit. “We bring you more than money”: every VC claims it but very few actually live by it – we do. We were voted “Best Investor” in our region 2 years in a row and there is a reason for that. We’re fine with opinions but we’d rather focus on facts. We are no nonsense guys. We will tell you things as they are, we never intend to demean or hurt. We might seem offensive every now and then, remember, we NEVER mean bad but we’d rather be straight.

We invent + invest in companies that unlock human potential. We create new business concepts, enable traction, provide seed funding, and drive acceleration through strategic partnerships with top influencers, corporations, and investors. Building one company is hard. We are building multiple ventures and the infrastructure to repeatedly discover, ideate, experiment, build, and scale them. We do not take on this challenge lightly. Core to our thesis is that we work with exceptional talent using systems, methodologies, and networks that act as force multipliers, letting us do more with less. We know that changing the way companies are created, in a space as impactful as the future of living and work, is a big undertaking. That’s why we build from a place of curiosity and we work with intentionality. We ask ourselves how to: Make entrepreneurship more inclusive and hire exceptional talent Uncover solutions to substantial, but overlooked problems Collaborate with corporations, institutions, and influencers Use data and technology for determining deployment of resources into starting, building, and scaling ventures Build systems and methodologies that enable teams to do more with less
