Profile

Firebrand Ventures is a new kind of venture fund. We combine a strong brand, vast network, and deep experience with startup hustle to invest in exceptional early stage software startups.

Reinventing the Midwest investment culture: Firebrand confidently invests in early stage startups when we see an exceptional team and immense potential. We target the greater midwest, from Austin to Minneapolis, Boulder to Columbus.

Firebrand is a lot more than early stage capital: We bring decades of operational and investment expertise, a vast, powerful network, and a proactive approach to help entrepreneurs accelerate their businesses.

We've been founders so we know what it's like.We promise to be transparent, responsive, and accessible to founders.
