Dundee Venture Capital

Ten years ago, we started Dundee Venture Capital with the mission to serve entrepreneurs building companies between the coasts. We refer to these regions as the #MightyMiddle. As we kicked off this new decade, we reflected on what more we could do for the community -- entrepreneurs, our peers in venture capital, our limited partners, and the broader venture ecosystem. Every transformative company needs one to start. “Overnight successes” actually take years of tenacity, grit, questioning, and persistence behind closed doors. We know it because we’ve been there. We believe before others will, and commit to working with you for every step of the journey. That’s how seed investing should be. Some of the most impactful technology companies ever are being built right now outside of the traditional coastal hotbeds. Across our three Midwest offices, we see the impact of technology on our cities, states, regions, and world. We are firm believers that what is being built here, today, will improve the world for centuries to come. How We Invest -We lead seed rounds as the first institutional capital in a company and bring in other investors. -Initial investments are $500K-$1M into $1M – $3M seed rounds. -We like to see a prototype built and early traction with an initial, engaged customer base. But, we will invest pre-revenue and, in some cases, pre-product. -We invest in the Mighty Middle, underserved markets across the US and Canada. -We are generalist investors, preferring high-growth, high-margin tech startups. Our portfolio is a mix of vertical and horizontal enterprise software, consumer brands, and marketplaces.
