CV invests in seed-stage tech startups.

The founders we invest in are building innovative technology companies in geographic regions where there’s historically been a lack of seed capital: places like Chicago, Austin, Madison and Cincinnati. These founders are tackling large or broken markets, or uncovering new ones.
