They position themselves as more than just a capital provider; they offer capital, content, time, and experience to offer first-class service to portfolio clients. They are particularly interested in early-stage companies that seek collaboration and are willing to receive advice in addition to financial backing, believing it is crucial to be part of the team and engage in the fundraising process actively. They focus on Seed-level investments, including Pre-seed and Early-stage investments, working with companies that have a sound idea, drive, and attitude. If a company is looking only for monetary investment without the desire for guidance, C2Ventures is not the right fit. This firm prides itself on rolling up their sleeves and contributing beyond financial investment, offering support through capital raises, exits, commercial scaling, financial & operational support, and advice. C2Ventures works with competitive startups through limited partnerships with Techstars, Bowery Capital, and some of New York City's most active angels. Additionally, they invest in what they describe as 'dirty, dull, and dangerous' verticals and have a portfolio featuring 46 companies with over $120 million raised and 3 exits to date. C2Ventures is known for its proactive culture, providing practical, tactical, and actionable advice to its portfolio companies.
