See If You're a MatchInvestment Thesis
Motley Fool Ventures is an early-stage venture capital fund powered by The Motley Fool’s brand, investing approach, and communities. They combine the best of both worlds: like a traditional VC with outside limited partners prioritizing investor returns and independent decisions, but also like a corporate VC with backing from a successful operating company providing resources most VCs can only dream of. Their North Star is to make portfolios represent their best vision of the future.
