Detroit Opportunity Fund
Investing in innovative makers who build things in Detroit
We invest in innovative and scalable ventures founded by a diverse mix of entrepreneurs in the capital of American industry: Detroit.
We capitalize on the potential of this manufacturing powerhouse and its entrepreneurial population while leveraging the *Opportunity Zone incentive to save capital gains taxes.
Lately, investors have been too focused on the next app. It's time we stop pattern matching and back innovative founders making real things. We want to catalyze startups designing, building, and producing for the future.
We will most often invest at the seed-stage, $100,000 - $200,000.
*Congress recently passed the Investing in Opportunity Act, which defers or waive taxes for long-term investments in low-income areas. Read the Fact Sheet for more details.
