Description
Dundee Venture Capital, based in Omaha, Nebraska, is a prominent early-stage venture capital firm with a distinctive investment thesis centered on technology companies located in the "between the coasts" markets of the United States. Since its inception, the firm has strategically focused on underserved regions, including the Midwest and Southeast, aiming to identify and nurture high-growth startups outside the traditional tech hubs. Dundee VC primarily targets Seed and Series A rounds, providing crucial capital and strategic guidance to founders in these emerging ecosystems.
The firm's investment strategy is characterized by its commitment to building long-term partnerships with entrepreneurs. Dundee Venture Capital typically deploys initial checks ranging from $500,000 to $1 million, positioning itself as a key early supporter for promising technology ventures. Beyond capital, the firm offers extensive operational support, leveraging its deep network and experience to help portfolio companies scale, navigate challenges, and achieve significant milestones. This hands-on approach underscores their belief in fostering sustainable growth and creating value in regions often overlooked by larger coastal funds.

The firm successfully closed its fifth fund, Fund V, at $40 million in 2022, marking a substantial increase from its earlier funds and reflecting its expanding capacity to support more companies. To date, Dundee VC has invested in over 70 companies across various sectors, including SaaS, fintech, and e-commerce, contributing significantly to the development of vibrant tech communities in the heartland.
