Investment thesis

1863 Ventures backs what it calls the New Majority: founders from historically marginalized communities building high-potential businesses. It focuses on helping founders make the transition from founder to CEO, particularly at the inflection point of scaling from roughly $100K to $1M in revenue. Beyond capital, the firm offers a structured CEO development platform (New Majority Ventures University) covering eight domains including business model clarity, financial maturity, operational excellence, team leadership, sales and marketing, and growth readiness. It also partners with investors, educators, and ecosystem builders to expand economic opportunity and generate community wealth.
