Coalition Operators backs founders taking big swings at important problems, driven by a deep why. The firm is powered by active founders and operators who provide specific, tangible support from people still in the trenches. They focus on founders with perfect founder-problem fit: those with a deep and all-consuming why, an unfair insight or expertise that makes them faster out of the gate, and an insatiable drive to win. Coalition believes the best early stage cap tables are collaborative, and has built a vetted network of 100+ world-class startup operators who hold leadership roles at the tech industry's most important companies. Their sweet spot is pre-seed and seed stages, from inspired ideas to early signs of momentum, with particular strength in categories where the partners have built companies including AI, health, enterprise, consumer, and commerce.
Notable quotes
“We aim to create the venture product they've always wanted as founders: specific, tangible support from people still in the trenches and will always tell you the truth (and otherwise get out of your way).”
“We need better stories about the future.”
“My only prediction for 2025 is that it'll be another wild ride. Founders, we are actively investing: $250K-$500K, pre-seed and seed.”
