Investment Thesis

Chingona Ventures invests in the next generation of ‘badass founders’ - intelligent, fearless individuals who can execute. They focus on founders whose unique backgrounds position them to identify and capitalize on massive industry shifts in overlooked growth markets. The firm believes in supporting entrepreneurs at the critical pre-seed stage when they are raising their first institutional capital, with check sizes between $250k-$2MM designed to capture 5-10% equity ownership.

What Sets Them Apart

  • Focus on underrepresented and overlooked founders whose backgrounds uniquely position them for specific industries
  • Emphasis on industries 'massively changing' with founders who have insider knowledge or non-obvious perspectives
  • Transparent review process with published expectations and timeline (approximately two weeks for diligence)
  • Portfolio job board demonstrating commitment to supporting founder ecosystem
  • Monthly newsletter and active community engagement
