Investment Thesis

Interlock Capital believes that great companies and founders are missed through traditional venture capital models due to access barriers, geographic limitations, and lack of specialized expertise. They operate as a community-driven angel syndicate that leverages the collective intelligence of hundreds of Venture Partners (founders, operators, subject matter experts, and investors) to find, evaluate, fund, and support the best companies. The core philosophy centers on democratizing angel investing by allowing individuals to invest as little as $1,000 per deal while accessing institutional-quality diligence and a network of expert advisors.
