Investment thesis

eGateway Capital is a thesis-driven growth equity investor exclusively focused on enablement technologies driving the future of digital commerce and supply chain. The firm invests $5–15M at Series B or later (and selectively at Series A with strong product-market fit) across four pillars: how goods are produced (localized, tech-enabled manufacturing and sourcing), how things are marketed (advertising, marketing tech, and data analytics), how things are transacted (platforms and fintech for next-generation retail), and how goods are distributed (physical delivery and logistics). Strategically headquartered in the Midwest—which eGateway calls the eCommerce capital of the country—the firm operates nationally while leveraging the region's logistical strengths. Beyond capital, eGateway provides hands-on advisory services including strategic planning, business development, and M&A support, putting itself 'in the game' alongside portfolio founders.

Notable quotes

We believe the way Overhaul combines technology, which absorbs data from disparate sources in real-time to make informed, actionable decisions, with best-in-class managed services, is a true differentiator and sets them up for continued success in a market leading position.

Joshua Awad · Built In Austin / PR Newswire – Overhaul $73M funding announcement · 2023-03-07

SparkHaus addresses a few key needs that we believe will have an outsized impact on our region's growth for decades to come. It's a hub for decision makers with financial capital, to meet local entrepreneurs and larger business owners and ultimately a space where our technology companies can hire and house their first local employees.

What makes Cincinnati special is that innovation meets execution here. Ideas don't just get discussed, they get built, they get scaled, and they get operationalized.
