Investor in Chicago, Illinois

## About LongJump

LongJump is a first-check, founder-led fund designed to invest in the next generation of founders. We provide capital, connections, and community to help founders take the leap toward building fast-growing, scalable businesses.

We invest $110K at the earliest stages to help turn ambitious ideas into high-growth companies. We're industry-agnostic and fund founders building in the Midwest, with a strong bias toward Chicago.

Great companies can start anywhere, not just on the coasts.

We’re flipping the script on early-stage investing: open, honest, and built for founders. We know fundraising is a challenging and anxiety-inducing process. Our goal is to be the opposite - so we’re committed to demystifying as much of our process as we can, so you know where you stand.

What We Invest In

We are focused on businesses that:

▪ Are based in the Midwest: We have a strong preference for founders building in the Midwest, especially Chicago. ▪ We can be an early investor: You haven’t raised significant outside capital yet. ‍▪ Tech-focused or tech-enabled: Your business can scale quickly with technology at its core. ▪ Led by impressive builders: We care about the strength of your founding team and your unique insights and experiences in the market you’re tackling. ‍▪ High-leverage capital fit: Our check can help you make real, measurable progress.
