Underdog Ventures

Underdog Ventures® has developed a new model of customized community venture capital funds, combined with a model of customized philanthropy. Underdog Ventures partners with a group of investors committed to financial, community and environmental results. We create innovative and customized investments to meet the specific needs of each of our investors, each of whom has a dedicated fund that invests in areas that they choose. Underdog Ventures® acts as a managing partner for each of the funds, structuring, negotiating and managing the investments, while serving as an intermediary between investors and the invested companies. We provide value-added consulting, using the expertise of our in-house staff, advisory board members and investors; perform the due-diligence on companies in which we invest; maintain a strong on-the-ground presence in designated communities; create strategic relationships with non-profits; and provide exit opportunities for our investors consistent with their priorities.
