We host a series of prop-tech and construction-tech venture capital funds comprised of startups actively managed by venture capital firm Shadow Ventures and strategically supported by customers. This gives our portfolio an unfair advantage.
Shadow micro-funds are for early-stage companies and have investment minimums less than traditional venture capital. Our funds are shaped by partners with a deep knowledge of a function within the built industry: development, design, construction, and operations. This gives our funds the greatest chance of success for returns. And we’ve incorporated industry insiders in the process, creating a fund for new and experienced venture investors alike.
As an investor and with recent regulatory changes, you have more choices than ever to invest your hard-earned dollars.
Many experienced financial professionals invest in venture capital and up-and-coming tech companies.
No putting all your eggs in one basket. With a portfolio of five startups, investors have significant diversification.
Shadow Ventures manages the portfolio for follow on seed investment and liquidity from either our internal Seed fund or others.
Startups are vetted by expert customers and our established venture capital firm giving our portfolio an unfair advantage.
