Idea Fund believes that great ideas and exceptional entrepreneurs are not limited to Silicon Valley, but thrive throughout the Upper Midwest. They partner with seed and early-stage startups to help entrepreneurs solve challenging problems through capital, connections, and operational expertise. Their strategy addresses the ‘Catch-22 of early-stage growth’ by investing in companies before first sales or even before finished products, helping entrepreneurs develop value creation plans and providing significant capital for follow-on funding.
