Solid Bond operates on a founder-first investment model that prioritizes the entrepreneur and their vision over traditional metrics-driven investing. The firm was founded by operators (Steve and Shaz) who have scaled successful businesses and want to ‘give something back to founders in the early stages’ by sharing their learnings and experience. They believe that the earliest stage investments yield the most impactful relationships, and they focus on providing hands-on support that goes far beyond capital deployment.
What Sets Them Apart
- Operator-led fund: Founders are experienced business operators, not just investment professionals
- Partnership model: Position themselves as 'partners, not investors' with hands-on involvement through growth journey
- Support beyond capital: Provide expertise in finance, product, tech, and marketing rather than passive investing
- Founder-fit focused: Emphasize founder fit and ability to work together over conventional investment criteria
- Early stage commitment: Willing to invest pre-product or before revenue models are figured out
- Fast decision-making: Typical process of 6-10 weeks from initial meeting to cash in
- No follow-on pressure: Clear that they invest at pre-seed/early seed and don't pursue aggressive follow-on strategies
