Investment thesis
Method Capital was built on the beliefs that success is usually non-linear and that great execution drives good ideas. As a Chicago-based firm, it focuses on Midwest technology companies, addressing a gap where few local firms can lead Series A/B rounds. It seeks companies with monthly recurring revenue, referenceable customers, and a scalable technology platform, making initial investments of $1M to $10M. The firm draws on its principals' collective 150+ years of experience to serve as a strong partner to management teams while safeguarding investor capital.
