LongShot Capital is a private investment office backing early-stage technology founders. The firm focuses on addressing the funding gap between friends and family rounds and proper seed rounds, investing in companies raising rounds between $300,000 to $1 million. LongShot co-invests with other angels, strategic investors, and VCs rather than leading rounds. The fund targets climate, agriculture and food, retail, healthcare, FinTech, and urban and proptech companies—areas that align with the founders' family network and global partners. The firm aims to have the largest impact and potentially the highest returns by focusing on this early-stage segment.
Notable quotes
“The gap between friends and family and a proper seed round has a lot of risk and it's the area where we view there are gaps in funding. It's an area [where] we will have the largest impact and potentially the highest returns.”
“The potential is enormous, which is why I'm devoting my time to build this up. Micheal and I have cultivated some interesting relationships over the years and I'd expect the funds under management to eventually reach several hundred million.”
