Investment thesis
Standard Capital focuses exclusively on leading Series A rounds for the best post-PMF founders. It replaces the slow, relationship-driven fundraising process with an open application and interview, letting founders name their own valuation and requiring a minimum of 10% ownership (open to 20% for a larger lead). It provides standardized documents and absorbs legal fees, does not take board seats, and instead supports founders through quarterly in-person group office hours in San Francisco alongside peer portfolio founders. The firm invests in roughly five companies per cycle, four times a year, and considers companies with less than $1M ARR, prioritizing growth rate and market opportunity. It leverages AI heavily for research and analysis.
