## About Slauson & Co.

Slauson & Co. is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2020, based in Los Angeles, California, investing with intention and rooted in inclusion. It's backed by major tech companies including Google, Meta, Twitter, and PayPal.

Beyond capital, the firm runs Friends & Family, a 12-week accelerator providing 20 companies nationwide with $20,000 in non-dilutive capital, and publishes annual Inclusion Reports tracking its impact, alongside a hands-on presence in portfolio companies.

Slauson invests broadly across fintech, healthcare, consumer, beauty, real estate tech, and e-commerce at the pre-seed and seed stages, prioritizing founders whose lived experience serves as their competitive advantage. Notable investments include Slate Auto, The Folklore Group, Pressed Roots, Sienna Naturals, Charger Help, and Bags.

The firm closed a $100 million Fund II in 2024, up from an initial $75 million Fund I. Its guiding belief: talent is evenly distributed, but opportunity is not, and the best products align with the values of the people they serve.
