Strategy
Exceptional Financial Returns, Meaningful Social Impact
Unlocking Growth from Overlooked Founders
Reinventure Capital focuses on high-potential, overlooked founders—those historically excluded by traditional investors, including Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC), and women. This focus in Fund I has resulted in top-quartile performance, delivering nearly twice the average venture capital returns.
Our Investment Thesis
We believe overlooked founders we target possess a powerful blend of resilience, adaptability, and market insight that positions them to deliver both outstanding financial returns and meaningful social impact. Despite systemic barriers, these founders often outperform traditional benchmarks, demonstrating superior growth rates, capital efficiency, and successful exits.
What Sets Our Founders Apart
Maturity & Experience
Most founders bring 10-15 years of mainstream business experience before launching their entrepreneurial business, with an average age of 47.
Resilience & Adaptability Navigating systemic obstacles has honed their ability to handle uncertainty and respond to challenges with creativity and resourcefulness.
Unique Market Insights
Their diverse perspectives lead to innovative solutions and the discovery of previously untapped market opportunities
Proven Performance
Their ability to leverage limited resources drives sustainable growth, greater capital efficiency, and faster successful exits compared to their peers.
Our Focus: Early-Growth, Post-Seed Stage
We target the 14% of post-seed stage companies that have achieved product-market fit but lack the capital needed to scale. This segment, disproportionately led by overlooked founders, presents a compelling investment opportunity that offers both financial and social returns.
What We Provide
What Makes Us Different
Unlike traditional VCs that rely on a few high-risk investments to drive outsized returns, our strategy focuses on building sustainable, scalable businesses with a higher rate of success. This approach mitigates downside risk while still capturing significant upside potential. By prioritizing consistent, long-term growth over the pursuit of rare “unicorn” outcomes, we create a more stable and resilient investment portfolio.
Our Competitive Edge
Our disciplined focus on BIPOC and women founders, combined with our unique value-add model, makes us a preferred capital partner for high-potential, early-growth companies. We identify, support, and elevate the businesses best positioned to generate transformational wealth for their founders, employees, and the broader business ecosystem.
Win-Win-Win Approach
Our strategy seamlessly aligns purpose with profit, creating a triple win: delivering top-tier returns for investors, generating transformative wealth for founders and stakeholders, and promoting a more inclusive and equitable economy for all.
