VentureSouth

VentureSouth invests in talented entrepreneurs and promising early-stage ventures in the Southeast. We are industry agnostic, but we look for scalable, capital-efficient companies with strong signals of product-market fit and defensible moats, usually driven by technology. VentureSouth invests $250,000 to $1,000,000 in early-stage companies based in the southeastern United States seeking capital to launch or scale a market-ready product or service. We invest in companies: ▪ Based in the Southeastern United States ▪ Led by a management team that is talented, trustworthy, determined, and resourceful ▪ Seeking ~$250,000 to $2,000,000 for a 15%-30% preferred equity stake in the company ▪ We don’t invest in common equity or debt, and with some reluctance in convertible notes or SAFEs ▪ Generating initial revenue or entering the market with initial customer demand ▪ Deploying a business model that can scale with speed and capital efficiency ▪ That could generate a 50% annualized rate of return on our investment over five years Securing investment is difficult. VentureSouth reviews many introductions each month, but invests in ~2% of the companies that start the process. Competition is high and you’ll need to demonstrate a compelling reason.
