Investment Criteria

Here are the types of companies we are looking to invest in:

Stage Focus

We make early-stage investments: Seed to Series A where we can lead or co-lead a round with a $500,000 to $1.5 million investment. We want to actively participate in our portfolio companies at a board level to provide expertise and connections to grow the business.

Industry Focus

We invest in technology-driven companies that don't have high regulatory hurdles. We have a special interest in most B2B Software, AgTech, and FinTech companies that can demonstrate strong scalability.

Geographic Focus

We invest close to ‘Home’. We believe that great founders can build great companies in Middle America and we want to empower those companies. Our primary focus is in North and South Dakota and contiguous states that comprise the Northern Plains Region (MN, IA, NE, MT, WY and CO).
