Resolute Ventures

Resolute Ventures Overview

Resolute Ventures is a seed and pre-seed investor focused on backing and connecting a community of Founders who share an entrepreneurial spirit and energy, are driven by a need to work on things that matter; are unafraid to dream big; are founders who they believe have a better chance than most to actually achieve those dreams; and who believe being connected to a group of like-minded founders will help them succeed. Resolute Ventures' typical investment is in the neighborhood of $500,000, although it is very comfortable writing smaller checks for very early pre-seed opportunities with founders and visions it finds especially compelling, and larger checks for companies further along than those it typically backs. Resolute Ventures prefers developing real human relationships with its founders as opposed to operating in a Board/Management dynamic. The firm works closely with its portfolio companies on particular aspects of the journey from seed to series A: developing milestones and thinking through organizational, strategic and business model questions. And, in particular, preparing for and closing a successful venture round.

VC Mike Hirshland has some (very early) seed-stage investing advice

Mike Hirshland, co-founder of Resolute Ventures, discusses what he looks for in startups and his focus on pre-seed deals. He believes that early traction is not correlated with success and that founders with a strong vision and the ability to build their own product have the most potential. Hirshland also emphasizes the importance of founders who are willing to experiment, gather data, and make adjustments to their product. He is cautious of founders who prioritize releasing a perfect product or become too focused on growth without building a sustainable business. Hirshlands investment strategy at Resolute Ventures involves investing in startups at an early stage with a founder, an idea, and minimal traction.
