Rogue Capital Collective

About Rogue Capital Collective

Rogue Capital Collective is a venture investment vehicle that targets seed investments in high-growth startups. With a focus on PropTech, FinTech, Financial Services, and Real Estate, they aim at identifying and propelling innovative technology-driven companies. Spearheaded by founder turned seed investor, startup strategist, and speaker Diane Henry, the collective began in 2015 by funding promising ventures across the US, including burgeoning tech hubs. Diane brings agile leadership and entrepreneurial experience to her advisory duties with emerging companies. Prior to establishing Rogue, Diane successfully founded and expanded a commercial real estate firm in Manhattan, even navigating through multiple economic downturns. Rogue is committed to investing with a collective intelligence leveraging the network of founders, thought leaders, and investors. Rogue's investment areas reflect a forward-thinking approach: combining earning with recreation or social interaction; expanding retail investor access to alternative investments; monetizing online activities; advocating for personal finance and career education through entertainment; supporting infrastructure for the gig economy; and enhancing personal financial literacy through gamification. With a vision for the future of real estate, Rogue invests in data-driven commercial real estate insights, tools for risk mitigation in real estate, factory optimization software, and technologies that improve access to real estate ownership and financing. The firm abstains from investing in hardware, ed tech, consumer goods, bio tech, and certain other sectors. Rogue upholds a for-profit ethos while consciously seeking market or superior returns and does not earmark funds for grants or philanthropy but supports social impact through affiliations like the Arctaris Michigan Impact Fund. Open to U.S. and Canada-based investments, Rogue values founder skill sets over physical attributes, and actively supports diverse founders. It prefers startups linked to well-resourced hubs like NYC and values personal introductions and network associations for investment consideration.
