Investment thesis

Bread and Butter Ventures invests across three focus areas: food technology (tech-enabled software and hardware across the food value chain, excluding CPG), digital health and vertical SaaS (workflow software, data platforms, and AI-enabled care tools that democratize access to quality care, excluding FDA-regulated devices and pharma), and enterprise technology (software powering supply chain, commerce, and core operational systems). The firm favors B2B, software-driven models with strong unit economics. It leverages Minnesota's dense network of food, healthcare, and Fortune 500 companies to give founders customer insight and access. It leads or co-invests, builds value-add syndicates, and stays actively involved post-investment via Platform support.
