$2M for Founders to Start Investing
ApplyFounders Backing Founders
Spearhead is where founders get their first fund.
Founders start with a $2M fund. If they make great investments, they’re eligible for a second fund up to $10M. There’s also follow-on capital available for breakout companies in their portfolios.
We teach founders how to invest and provide back-office services, so founders can focus on investing. There’s no pressure to invest—founders focus on their company and invest at their own pace.
“I love helping other founders. Now I can write their first check, validate them and have a bigger stake in their success.”
“There’s zero pressure to invest. I use the money to back friends turned founders working on ambitious problems.”
