ThirtyEight Capital

We believe the next wave of high-performing ventures will be built by operators with deep domain insight and a bias for execution. We focus on models with clear unit economics, paths to early profitability, and the potential to scale with discipline. HOW WE BUILDWhat we bring to the table Our Ideas: 2-3 Cases that (i) we have ideated, (ii) we have a strong believe in and (iii) that are ready to being validated together Our Capital: We invest our own money to provide you with the required pre-seed investment + our network of Angels, Investors and Family Offices for potential follow-up investment Our Hands: We support from day 0. We co-build. We get our hands dirty. We are on the ground with you What you bring to the table Your Heart: Dedication, drive and the desire to build a profitable business with us over the next 5-10 years Your Brain: A proven track record in building and operating at the highest standards in a high pressure environment Your Attitude: You fully own the case even if we bring in the initial idea. You have the confidence to challenge everything we say and do and proof us wrong WHAT WE BUILD Capital efficiency and sharp execution beat hype and burn. We invest early and support relentlessly. Profitability matters: Most startups we back aim for operational profitability early.Capital efficiency isn’t optional. It’s a mindset. Execution over narrative: Too many founders raise on vision. We back those who execute – shipping, selling, scaling. VC is broken: Too much capital follows the same playbook. We invest in overlooked markets, underfunded verticals, and founder archetypes the industry ignores. Outdated verticals, low competition: We focus on unloved industries where execution is key and competition is weak. Think: old problems, solved with new precision. Positive Unit Ecos from day 1: Our ventures are designed to become CM3-positive with a lean, capital-efficient setup - often after a single seed round. AAA+ operator teams only: We only work with founders who build and operate at the highest standards. No tourists, no pitch decks - just proven operators.

Core Innovation Capital

Core was founded on a simple conviction: the greatest returns come from the most overlooked markets where businesses outperform because they create value. Born out of the Financial Health Network and inspired by pioneers like Grameen and ShoreBank, we’ve spent over a decade investing in fintech and use that experience to invest where others won’t - massive, regulated, and operationally complex sectors that are broken and overdue for reinvention. We don’t chase what’s shiny. We deliver top-tier venture returns through disciplined focus on technology that can create step-function improvements in cost, access, and outcomes. We stay focused on what’s essential: rebuilding the core systems that shape American life - financial services, healthcare, real estate, insurance, and work. We invest $1-5 million primarily in Seed to Series A companies. We take meaningful positions, offer hands-on partnership, and provide founders with the strategic guidance needed to navigate complex, high-barrier industries. Our Values The core principles that guide us forward. Intrepid Investors: We make bold bets that will reinvent financial empowerment. Alignment Ambassadors: We back the most mission driven companies whose financial success aligns with creating value for their customers. Collaborative Colleagues: We are collaborative, low ego, and always willing to share our time, networks, and knowledge without quid pro quo. Compassionate Confidants: We are empathetic while direct, and engage others with integrity and confidentiality. Perpetual Pupils: We are always willing to change our minds, learn from our mistakes, and embrace new ideas. Disciplined Dealmakers: We are selective in the founders we back and win deals as the best partners, not the highest price.
