Investment thesis

Collide Capital's mission is to guide founders on their institutional capital journey and equip them with resources, knowledge networks, and hands-on operational support for a successful exit. The firm believes that great founders are intersectional in nature and will demand that their investors be equivalently so. Collide is ushering in a new era of venture capital where resources and opportunities are directed toward the most deserving by backing a high-performing portfolio led by a diverse array of founding teams who have the lived experiences, courage, and grit to create solutions for the next generation. The firm invests in early-stage companies from pre-seed to Series A, with a focus on founders building transformational enterprise SaaS, sustainable supply chain infrastructure, and Gen-Z minded consumer software. Collide believes the next generation of category-defining companies will be forged through collision – of culture and code, of policy and product, and of perspectives too often overlooked by capital.

Notable quotes

Collide is the culmination of a decade-long journey identifying and supporting the most talented founders we know. Aaron and I have spent years bringing recognition and resources to deserving innovators, and we're thrilled to now add capital to that equation to ensure those founders have the financial support they need to win.

Not only do we invest in the ecosystems we ourselves have built, we also stay close to the institutions that trained us. With Fund II, we'll continue to invest in the ecosystems we ourselves have built.

Aaron Samuels · TechCrunch · 2026-04-09

Fund I confirmed our belief that backing diverse founders at the intersection of fintech, supply chain, and future of work drives both meaningful returns and measurable impact. When we combine early-stage operational support with underrepresented perspectives, we unlock solutions that scale.
