Investment thesis

Gravity Ventures is a collective of experienced investors and entrepreneurs that administers its portfolio cooperatively, making investment decisions as a group rather than through a single decision-maker. The firm focuses on early-stage technology and tech-enabled companies across a range of industries in Indiana and Arkansas, backing ambitious founders at the angel, pre-seed, and seed stages. Emphasizing a collaborative, low-ego approach, its members contribute time and expertise while pursuing their own careers and ventures, investing in people as much as in ideas.

Cherubic Ventures

Cherubic Ventures is known for investing before a startup even launches or reaches product-market fit, often as the first institutional investor, while also setting aside half of its latest fund for follow-on support all the way through pre-IPO; it was also one of the first venture firms to operate as a solo general partner and has grown into one of the largest funds run that way. Founded by Matt Cheng, who previously built two companies that each reached over $1 billion in public market value, the firm was designed from the start to invest across both the U.S. and Asia, backing early breakout companies in places like Croatia, Bangladesh, Japan, and Taiwan in addition to the U.S., with its Taipei roots still central to its identity alongside its Silicon Valley presence.
