Investment thesis
Chisos aims to close the funding gap left by traditional investors, noting that most entrepreneurs are underserved by existing options. Its Convertible Income Share Agreement (CISA) provides early-stage capital without requiring founders to give up excessive ownership or rely on friends and family, and without needing a warm introduction thanks to an open online application. The firm emphasizes backing underrepresented founders and impact-oriented businesses, with much of its portfolio aligned to UN Sustainable Development Goals. Chisos is Diversity in VC certified, underscoring its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
