About
Mastercraft Ventures is a Beloit, Wisconsin-based venture capital fund that leads first institutional funding rounds (pre-seed or seed) for Wisconsin-based, pre-revenue/prototype-stage founders across any industry or technology. It targets an initial check size of $250k-$500k, reserves capital for follow-on rounds, and is motivated by efficient exits of $25-$50M+ rather than outlier $1B+ outcomes. It was founded by Mason Cook.
Investment approach
- Thesis
- The best companies are often built long before the rest of the market recognizes the opportunity. We believe exceptional founders develop insights through experience, identify opportunities others overlook, and create value by acting before consensus forms.Source (opens in a new tab)
