We are looking for early-stage companies . At minimum, we like to see a minimally viable product that has already been tested. Ideally, the product should already be on the market and generating some recurring revenue, as it signals that people are willing to pay for it. If your product is still in the idea stage, or you’re still building your MVP, it is likely too early for us to invest, though we'd love to meet you and track your progress.

We write first checks and follow-on checks ranging from $500K to $2M. Our initial investment size is designed to help founders achieve critical milestones in talent acquisition, technology development, and go-to-market (GTM) strategies. We aim to provide the capital and strategic support necessary for startups to accelerate their growth and position themselves for subsequent funding rounds.

There are a few industries that will almost always result in a quick “no” from us: biotechnology, cannabis and tobacco, cryptocurrency and tokens, food and beverage, gambling, liquor and spirits, professional services agencies, brick-and-mortar businesses (physical retail) and real estate. Due to the nature of our fund, Collab Capital is not permitted to invest or provide grants to charitable organizations.

Our investment process begins with the founder completing an application for investment. If the company passes the initial screening, we will schedule an introductory call. If their is interest in digging in deeper, we will schedule a meeting with the entire investment team. From there we will conduct market research, hold reference calls and prepare a memo for investment committee. If the company passes IC, we will enter legal due diligence and move to close. The entire process can take 4-8 weeks.
