Investment thesis

Brickyard operates a private, in-person 'black site' where roughly 20 portfolio companies build together at a time. It writes about ten checks of $500k-$800k per year on market terms, with no cost to build in the facility. Teams relocate to work intensely (9-9-7) until reaching a self-selected ARR target of $1-3m, typically staying around 18 months. Brickyard explicitly states it is not an accelerator, runs no programs, cohorts, or demo days, and is unrelated to economic development. The firm emphasizes focus, in-person collaboration, and letting its portfolio companies effectively run the facility.
