About The Fund
The 81 Collection, headquartered in Chicago IL, is a venture capital firm that targets an oft-overlooked segment of the US economy, which they describe as the 'boring' industries. They focus on the 81% of the US GDP that they believe is starved for innovation—sectors such as Hardware and Manufacturing, Retail and E-commerce, AI and Big Data, Real Estate and Construction, and Woman-Focused enterprises. Their investment thesis revolves around identifying and nurturing entrepreneurs who are committed to transforming mundane trades, demanding work environments, spaces resistant to change, and systemic inequality. They invest in early stages of business development, including Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A rounds, with an investment sweet spot of $200,000, minimum investments starting at $100,000, and capping at $2,000,000. The 81 Collection manages $41,000,000 in assets under management and utilizes its unique firm structure to leverage a collective of experienced operator-investors to back innovators who are ready to tackle real and challenging problems using technology, strong cash flow management, and a long-term perspective. The firm's specialities include Early Stage, Seed, Series A, and Pre-seed investments in VC. The aim is to unlock trillions of dollars of value in serious, unsolved problems across the underserved portion of the GDP—positively impacting America's infrastructure, democratizing access to opportunities, and rebuilding the middle class using new tools and technologies.
