Investment Thesis

Mudita is a human-centered early-stage venture fund that believes in making real impact without compromising values or ethics. They reject the traditional venture capital model of extracting maximum value at any cost, instead viewing investing as collaboration rather than combat. Their philosophy centers on supporting founders as people, believing that compassion, kindness, and generosity represent strength, confidence, and power. They measure success not just by investment returns but by positive ripple effects in people’s lives and the broader world.

What Sets Them Apart

Geographic diversity: Based in Detroit with presence in Chicago, San Francisco, St. Louis, Las Vegas, and Ann Arbor; actively invest outside coastal tech hubs
Values-first investing: Enforce a 'no asshole rule' and will walk away from financially promising deals if founders lack character alignment
Mudita Studios: Advanced innovation factory that transforms ideas into fundable companies, with 99% rejection rate to ensure highest probability of success
Proprietary frameworks including the 'Growth Playbook,' 'Mudita Clinic' for organizational diagnostics, and 'SoulScore' for measuring financial, human, and real-world impact
