Investment thesis

Motley Fool Ventures is an early-stage venture capital fund powered by The Motley Fool's brand, investing approach, and community. It blends traits of a traditional VC—outside limited partners, a focus on investor returns, and independent decision-making—with the backing and resources of a successful operating company like a corporate VC. The fund targets early-stage, Series A technology companies including software, platforms, and tech-enabled services. It looks for businesses with at least $1M in annualized revenue growing roughly 100% year-over-year, and it emphasizes backing diverse founding teams with varied experiences and perspectives. Initial checks range from $1M to $2M.
