Investment Thesis

SPANVentures. was founded on the principle of addressing systemic inequities in venture capital allocation. The firm believes that diverse founders create innovative solutions that drive the economy forward, and that investing in underrepresented entrepreneurs unlocks high-potential opportunities that have been historically overlooked. Their investment approach combines early-stage capital deployment with operational expertise and network access to support founders from pre-seed through Series A and beyond.

What Sets Them Apart

Explicit focus on diverse founders—addressing the fact that only 3% of VC dollars currently go to diverse founders
Deal-by-deal investment approach allowing flexibility and high selectivity rather than fund-based constraints
Syndicate model for capital facilitation
Dual platform approach: simultaneously operates 'Breaking Barriers of VC,' a leading networking and events platform for the VC tech ecosystem in Manhattan
Focus on early-stage (pre-seed/seed) rather than later stages, positioning them to support founders from 0 to 1
