About The Fund

Dundee VC is a venture capital firm that specializes in leading seed rounds for category-defining brands and the infrastructure that powers them. With an emphasis on being true believers, the firm supports transformative companies from the earliest stages, understanding that success often involves significant challenges and persistence. Dundee VC empowers entrepreneurs and ecosystems that are typically overlooked by traditional venture capitalists, investing across North America with no bias towards the coastal startup hotbeds. They take pride in finding and funding startups that are located where their customers actually are, spread all over the country. Each investment showcases their firm belief in the potential of these companies, as they often lead more than 90% of the rounds they partake in. Dundee VC is committed to pre-seed and seed investing, being staunch specialists in these early phases. Their focus lies on founders who possess unique insights into their markets and have gained an unfair advantage through exceptional execution, quick actions, and the ability to tackle urgent and valuable problems. Dundee VC's investment thesis revolves around this philosophy, with a preference for startups that are not only disruptive but are also built on strong convictions and relentless perseverance. Their financial engagements typically range from $250,000 to $800,000, with a sweet spot around $500,000 for investments. Dundee VC manages assets worth $31 million and remains dedicated to their specialty areas of Pre-Seed, Seed, and Early Stage investments, particularly in the software (including web marketplaces, SaaS), retail and e-commerce, and consumer sector companies. They invite founders to reach out for partnership, guidance, and investment to help them build the future.
