Homebrew

We invest in mission-driven founders who embrace big – big ideas, big impact, big risk. Most importantly, we invest in teams that we hope to spend time with and support now and again in the future. We look for founders who have a passion and unique insight into solving a specific problem. We appreciate an orientation towards data and using it to question and change assumptions. We value integrity, focus, flexibility, and a relentless will to succeed. We want leaders who collaborate, inspire, and take time to celebrate the small victories. Homebrew’s investment process is meant to give you and us the chance to feel what it would be like to work together, not just pitch each other. Our goal is to make efficient use of your time, moving quickly down a narrowing path to conviction. Days, not weeks. We make funding decisions by consensus - we want you to know that HOMEBREW has invested in you. Once there’s mutual enthusiasm, we work with you to find an entry point that makes sense for your funding needs. Signatures, wire transfer, and then the real fun begins! While we always work with entrepreneurs to understand their specific needs, we do have defined principles that guide our investing. ▪ There’s no “max” or “min” number of investments per year. ▪ We typically invest between $100k and $500k in your seed/A/B financing round. ▪ While we always advocate for the creation of a board, in select cases, we commit to serving on the board. Whether with another investor or us, we believe that establishing board oversight early helps companies develop important disciplines and structures, which increase the likelihood of successfully raising additional capital. When we do serve on the board, we typically step off at the Series B, because we don’t believe in overcrowding your boardroom with investors. ▪ We support our companies over time by investing in later financing rounds when appropriate and have access to even more capital for unique opportunities.
