Union Group Fund

Union Group Fund invests in and develops early-stage vertical SaaS businesses, with a specific focus on small, bootstrapped companies building niche, industry-specific software. The firm works with solopreneurs and small teams, providing capital alongside mentorship and growth guidance from experienced founders. Its investment partnerships are structured as an alternative to traditional venture funding, aimed at cash-generative software businesses rather than venture-scale growth stories.

The investment approach is deliberately contrarian to mainstream early-stage practice. Union Group Fund invests post-launch, once a company has paying customers, rather than at the product-market fit stage typical of seed venture capital. Portfolio companies are selected for profitability and sustainable, purposeful growth over growth-at-all-costs, with an emphasis on businesses that can support a livable work-life balance for their founders. The stated focus is on investing in people as much as in software.

Technical domains include vertical SaaS software development and niche industry-specific software. The firm is based in Kansas City, Missouri, and operates with a small team. No founding year, fund size, or portfolio scale metrics are disclosed.
