SoundBoard Venture Fund

SoundBoard Venture Fund is a collaborative early-stage fund that leverages the diverse perspectives of its LPs to make investment decisions through a facilitated, community-driven process. The fund targets 'understandable' post-concept businesses raising Seed or Pre-Series A rounds that demonstrate a scalable competitive advantage, with a particular focus on entrepreneurs in underserved geographies outside the core startup ecosystems (primarily within 150 miles of metropolitan New York City). While relatively industry-agnostic, SoundBoard has specific interest in agriculture, manufacturing, infrastructure/transportation, real estate/construction, food & beverage, education, and healthcare services. A defining pillar of the fund's approach is rigorous leadership assessment — evaluating founders and their teams on culture and human capital both before and after investment.
