About The Fund

Dashfire is a venture capital firm that specializes in the Information Technology and TMT (Technology, Media, and Telecom) sectors. Founded in 2009 and based in Chicago, Illinois, Dashfire focuses on early-stage investments, acting as both a near-term technical extension and a long-term strategic guide to the entrepreneurs they invest in. Their investment approach is unique in that they not only provide capital but also engage deeply with their portfolio companies to create meaningful products and services. Dashfire's investment criteria include a minimum and maximum of $200,000, signifying a tailored and focused investment strategy rather than spreading capital too thinly across numerous ventures. They believe in building strong partnerships with founders, providing them with necessary operational support, and helping them to scale their business effectively. The team at Dashfire has developed a robust network of industry leaders, technologists, and designers which they leverage to benefit their portfolio companies. This symbiotic ecosystem facilitates the sharing of knowledge, experience, and resources, thereby increasing the chances of success for the startups they back. Dashfire's commitment to early-stage companies reflects their dedication to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship within the IT industry and beyond, making them a highly engaged and invaluable member of the startup community they serve.
