Investment thesis
Tundra Angels is a Wisconsin-based angel investor network built on the idea that local investors should back local, category-defining startups. Founded by a former fintech startup operator, the firm identifies an arbitrage opportunity in pairing a founder-oriented mindset and process with a network of investors who are hungry, take risks, and lean into the future. Its stated mission is to be the kind of investor founders wish they had on their cap table, helping startups find asymmetric advantages in the market while offering smart capital and access to a network of experienced entrepreneurs and operators.
