Motivate Ventures invests in pre-seed and seed stage startups. Target first check size is $500k-$2mm and ours is typically the first professional capital in a business. We target 15%+ ownership and 10x+ returns on each of our investments. Warm email intros from other professional investors are best or entrepreneurs can reach out and tell us more about their startup and its funding needs here: www.motivate.vc/funding We haven’t mastered any of the social media platforms' messaging systems yet so heads up that we don't usually check those messages.
