About

Groundwork Capital backs exceptional founders before anyone else will. We're the believers before the proof, the foundation before the structure.

Investment approach

Thesis
Great companies start with bold founders and believers who see the vision before the world does. That's why we exist. Groundwork Capital was built to be the first capital in, backing exceptional founders at the earliest stages when belief matters more than metrics.Source (opens in a new tab)
Eligibility
A pre-seed company raising $100k to $400k on a $1M to $4M post-money SAFE, led by an experienced or deeply passionate founder solving a problem they know intimately, in a software-based business model, with at least one credible co-investor already committed.
Traction requirement
An MVP, waitlist, LOIs, or early customer conversations. Signals that you're building, not just pitching.
