The 81 Collection invests in early-stage companies transforming overlooked, offline industries that represent 81% of the U.S. economy but receive less than 50% of venture capital. The firm’s founders built successful companies in ‘boring’ industries and experienced firsthand how venture capitalists dismissed these sectors as too difficult to scale. They now believe exceptional operators can modernize critical industries through technology, cash flow, and long-term thinking, creating sustainable, high-quality businesses with loyal employees and entrenched competitive advantages.
