South Park Commons (SPC) is an investment fund that focuses on supporting technologically proficient founders who are in the early stages of identifying and building their next venture. They foster a community that aids in turning the chaos of possibility into the clarity of conviction. SPC believes that building conviction in an idea is the most important step in the startup journey and therefore they specialize in helping founders through this part by providing access to a robust community network, mentorship, and financial support. Their investment approach is characterized by pre-idea, founder-centric investing where the emphasis is placed on the potential of the founders rather than the current traction of their ideas. They aim to support category creation over digital co-option and seek founder-market fit. SPC fosters long-term partnerships with founders, indicative of their commitment to the evolution of early-stage ideas, acknowledging that great ideas need time to flourish. Their investment philosophy implies a preference for the slope of growth and potential over the present state or 'intercept'. SPC offers Community Membership, a Founder Fellowship program with guided paths and funding opportunities for venture-scale company building, and funding for select entrepreneurs, primarily in pre-seed or seed stages. They assert a dedicated community approach to support entrepreneurial journeys, integrated with a hands-on team who collectively have experience with companies worth over a trillion dollars. SPC brings together operational expertise and their community to help entrepreneurs achieve their vision, investing primarily in innovative areas such as Software, PropTech, Media, Biotech, Business Solutions, FinTech, Hardware, Energy, Retail, IoT, A.I., Blockchain, Gaming, Cloud Services, Developer Tools, Real Estate, DeepTech, and Online Social sectors. The fund's investment range spans from $100,000 to $5,000,000, with a 'sweet spot' of $1,500,000 for investments, and an under management asset pool of $52,200,000.
