What is Starting Line?

Starting Line is an investment fund that specializes in identifying and leading investment rounds in early-stage companies. With a focus on pre-seed, seed, and Series A stages, their strategy revolves around sourcing founders who have a clear vision for addressing market dislocations. Starting Line is particularly drawn to scenarios where such dislocations are being leveraged due to economic shifts, data-driven approaches, or changes in generational behavior.

Their investment range typically falls between $100,000 and $2,000,000, with a sweet spot around $1,000,000.

With $17,000,000 in assets under management, they are deeply involved in various industries, including Software, PropTech, IT & TMT, Media, Business Solutions, FinTech & Financial Services, Retail & E-Commerce, HealthTech & Fitness, Food & Beverage, Impact, Real Estate & Construction, and general Consumer sectors.

By investing in companies that are reshaping popular culture and improving conventional services, Starting Line has built a diversified portfolio featuring companies like Cameo, which taps into the celebrity-fan engagement space; Hungryroot, which delivers personalized grocery services; Spothero, a mobility platform; Catch Co, a recreation-focused brand; Flyhomes and Havenly in the real estate sector; Sunbit and M1Finance in the financial space; among others.

With their headquarters based in Chicago, Illinois, Starting Line embraces a philosophy of 'VC for the 99%', aiming to democratize access to venture capital and empower a broader range of entrepreneurs to innovate and grow their businesses.
