Even if you may not be ready for VC funding, we encourage you to apply! We value the opportunity to connect with you and learn about your business through your application, whether you are early or well on your way. It’s also strategic for founders to build relationships with investors early on so when you are ready for funding you aren’t starting from ground zero.

To be considered for funding by MMCF, startups should have (at minimum) a working, early version of their product or service. We also typically look for paying customers through pilots or solidified contracts, depending on the industry. Understanding market demand and your initial target markets is also critical. Please be ready to articulate the direct link between the “use of funds” and growth outcomes for the business. These are just a few elements we look for.

We recommend checking out our portfolio companies – not only because we think they are amazing, but because it will help provide perspective on the many different companies we invest in. If you are unsure of your eligibility, we encourage you to apply. We review all applications.
