Entrepreneurs with military experience possess highly developed leadership skills capable of building strong, successful companies. However, these skills are often underappreciated and underfunded. Our goal is to change that, and we invest exclusively in veteran entrepreneurs. Our successful track record proves that veteran entrepreneurs can produce outsized returns. We are industry agnostic and finance veterans from all military branches.
We recognize entrepreneurial endeavors require support early on. Hivers & Strivers Capital is founder-friendly, and we leverage our extensive network to ensure the greatest opportunity for success. Beyond capital, we source key board members and advisors, provide high-level counsel from experienced industry leaders, and open doors for our portfolio companies. We bring the experts to the table.
We invest throughout the early stages of the business, from seed stage through Series B.
We provide expertise in strategic planning, leveraging our group of experienced advisors and limited partners.
We facilitate meaningful introductions that open doors with customers, service providers, investors and other strategic partners.
We believe in a team-oriented, “boots-on-the-ground approach” by helping in day-to-day execution and facilitating operational improvements.
We provide access to fellow military veteran entrepreneurs that have faced similar challenges.
We can recommend the right talent from our vast network to fit a company’s most pressing needs.
Since 2009 we have invested in 14 veteran-lead ventures. Our blended IRR is 61%. Our portfolio has gained the attention of a growing pool of investors because our entrepreneurs consistently outperform their peers. We stay disciplined in our ability to capitalize on significant upside.
You must be a military veteran to seek funding with Hivers & Strivers Capital. We invest exclusively in highly scalable, startups led by U.S. military veterans. We do not invest in lifestyle businesses or franchises, and we shy away from cannabis and government contracting. If you believe that your company is a fit, tell us about your game-changing idea.
