FUND III · 2024 · SERIES A–C

Pitch your company.
Read by partners, not algorithms.

A short intake — five fields, one deck link — reviewed by a Creative Capitalism partner within five business days. Selected founders take a 30-minute call and, when there's a fit, receive a term sheet in a median of 19 business days.

Median intro → term sheet: 19 business days · 3× faster than the Series A median · 3.1% conversion across 11,400+ founder calls in 2024

30 minutes with a partner.

  • Sector, current ARR, and round size
  • A link to your deck (Notion, Docs, PDF)
  • 30 minutes on a partner's calendar

Eligibility Series A–C, mission-driven, $2M–$15M checks, $20M+ prior or current ARR preferred.

AFTER YOU HIT SUBMIT

Four steps from intake to term sheet.

We compress the part of venture that wastes founders' time — generic partner calls, multi-week partner syncs, "we'll get back to you" silences — and we publish the numbers. Here's exactly what happens next.

  1. 01

    DAY 0

    Partner review begins

    A partner — not an associate, not an algorithm — opens your deck within one business day. Sector partners Maya Okonkwo (climate, health) and Daniel Reyes (fininfra, logistics) personally triage inbound.

  2. 02

    DAYS 1–5

    30-minute intro call

    Selected founders meet with one of our 23 investment professionals. Bring your deck; bring your hard questions. We bring operator references from the 40-person network on day one.

  3. 03

    DAYS 6–15

    Diligence, with founders in the room

    Commercial, technical, and people diligence runs in parallel — typically three to five working sessions, capped at two weeks. Our Talent Partners team begins the executive-placement track at no incremental cost.

  4. 04

    DAY 19 · MEDIAN

    Term sheet or a clear no

    Median time from intro call to term sheet is 19 business days — 3× faster than the Series A median. We follow up with a written yes or no within 21 business days, every time.
