Our Investment Thesis

Three things we believe that most VCs won't say out loud.

We Back Before the Market Does

Inprimio writes $250K–$1M checks at seed and pre-seed, before traction is proven and before consensus forms. We back founders with strong conviction at the stage most funds won't touch.

Any Sector, One Standard

We invest across climate, healthtech, fintech, developer tools, AI, edtech, and more. Sector is secondary — we back exceptional founders wherever they show up. Our 12-company portfolio spans 11 sectors.

Fast Decisions, Clean Terms

We close inside 30 days of first contact. No dragging out term sheets, no gotcha clauses. Founders get a plain-English term sheet and a partner who picks up the phone after the check clears.

From Email to Term Sheet

We keep it straightforward. No black boxes, no three-month ghosting periods.

01

Send Us a Deck

Email [email protected] with a deck or a two-paragraph summary. We read every single one and respond within five business days.

First Conversation

A 30-minute call with one of our partners. No pitch theater — just a real conversation about what you're building, why now, and why you.

03

Deep Dive

If there's mutual interest, we go deeper: market sizing, product demo, team backgrounds. Usually two to three meetings over two weeks.

04

Term Sheet

If we decide to move forward, we send a clean, plain-English term sheet. We close fast — typically within 30 days of that first email.

The people we backed have things to say.

They responded to our cold email in three days and had a term sheet on the table inside a month. I've heard horror stories from other founders about the process. Ours was nothing like that.

Founder, Pennflo FinTech, Seed Round

David picked up the phone when our first enterprise deal fell through. That's the kind of partner you want when things get hard — not just someone who shows up at board meetings.

Founder, Verdanex CleanTech, Seed Round

Most VCs wanted traction before talking. Inprimio wanted to understand the problem. That difference in mindset is why we chose them over a fund that was offering twice the check.

Founder, Rootbridge EdTech, Pre-Seed Round
