We are founders backing founders. Each month we meet with and evaluate over 80 startups. We typically pick one or two to syndicate.

Typical criteria of the companies you will see:

• Current Traction: $5K+/month in revenue, or +/-$100K in annual recurring revenue.
• Current Round Size: $500K - $2.5M total. (Pre-seed, Seed, and Series A round investments.)
• Amount Committed: We prefer to see a minimum of 50% of their current round committed. (Having a lead investor is a plus.)
• Pre-Money Valuation: $5M or less. (Above $5M requires demonstrated traction and growth.)
• Prior Funding: Less than $750k in prior outside investment.
• Startup Categories: We focus on tech and tech-enabled businesses, and avoid highly regulated industries that have a long sales cycle or are capital intensive.
• Founder and Team: We like to see at least one full-time founder working in the business, with other full-time employees or contractors on the team. Two or more full-time founders are preferred.
• Growth Opportunity: We target business models that can scale to $100M+ in value.
• Location: We target startups throughout the USA and Canada. (We occasionally support startups in the EU that have a US C-Corp.)

We like to run pitch events every month or two and showcase 5 companies. Typically at least half of the companies that pitch, receive enough interest from our co-investors to syndicate an allocation. Often our allocations are filled and oversubscribed by our pitch event attendees. We will share our deal flow to our LPs via our AngelList syndicate.

We typically invest in companies that meet the following criteria:

• A Product in Market: We like to see three months of revenue or user growth.
• Current Traction: $5k+ in monthly recurring revenue, or +/-$100k in annual revenue, and 3+ paying customers.
• Current Round Size: $500k - $2.5M total. (We focus on pre-seed and seed round investments with occasional Series A rounds.)
• Pre-Money Valuation: $5M or less. (Above $5M requires demonstrated traction and growth.)
• Prior Funding: Less than $750k in prior outside investment.
• Startup Categories: We focus on tech and tech-enabled businesses, and avoid highly regulated industries that have a long sales cycle or are capital intensive. (We target startups that are doing real engineering and are capital efficient.)
• Founder and Team: We like to see at least one full-time founder working in the business, with other full-time employees or contractors on the team. Two or more full-time founders is preferred.
• Growth Opportunity: We target business models that can scale to $100M+ in value.
• Location: Although we are based in Houston, we work with startups throughout the USA and Canada.
• Monthly Stakeholder Updates: We love to see at least two to three monthly stakeholder updates before we invest. We like to see companies executing on their plan over time.
