être Venture Capital: 
Unlocking Overlooked Markets + Untapped Returns

être Venture Capital invests in seed stage critical technologies with large market potential developed in the US by diverse teams. Our goals:

Fill two key funding gaps: 1. Women and minority founders are often undercapitalized or overlooked by venture capital. 
2. Manufacturing startups are underfunded at the seed stage. 
Lead seed stage rounds: We unlock capital from investors waiting on the sidelines. 

Founder support: Our hands-on approach helps founders validate their technology and business model. This increases the likelihood of raising their next round and advancing toward commercialization.

Education & network: We provide an inclusive venture capital ecosystem and education for fund managers, limited partners, founders, talent, and service providers—this provides dealflow and de-risks portfolios. 

Portfolio: Obatala Sciences, Portico Care, Hexas Biomass, and Hampr, shape a healthier future, work toward a cleaner planet, and provide stronger economic opportunities.

Shape the future—join us in driving vital technologies that improve the quality of life for people and the planet!
