At 43North, we look for:
- Pre-seed/Seed stage companies
- Founders with domain expertise and a strong team
- Companies with a ready-to-ship product and traction with customers
- Revenue or a clear path to revenue within 12 months
Most importantly, founders should not only be willing to relocate their company, but should see significant value and opportunity in operating in a city like Buffalo.
In exchange for investment of $500K or $1M, portfolio companies:
- Locate their CEO and at least 50% of staff in Buffalo for at least 12 months
- Provide 5% equity to 43North
