Hivers and Strivers

About Hivers and Strivers

Military vets are an exceptional, underappreciated, and underfunded talent pool of entrepreneurial leaders. In early-stage investing, we bet on the jockey, not the horse and with the skills acquired during active duty, we believe companies led by former leaders of our armed forces are more likely to succeed. We understand that entrepreneurial efforts require strategic active and passionate support. We invest our time and leverage our vast networks to ensure the greatest chance for success. We will appoint source key board members, and advisors, and help open doors by providing counsel and offering expertise. We will lead early rounds with check sizes between $250k - $1M and performance pending, and participate in follow-on rounds. When larger financing rounds are needed, we will actively syndicate deals with other investment groups in our network.
