What we invest in:
We take pride in our community. The Midwest is home to a diverse set of industries and leading universities. Comeback Capital invests in companies that are building technologies that are important for the region. Some examples include robotics, supply chain and logistics, health tech, mobility, and industrial Internet of things. However, we will consider any early stage company in the Midwest that meets our other criteria.
What we look for:
Located in the Midwest
Capital efficient, relatively small rounds (under $1 million) at the pre-seed/seed stage
Targeting a customer base which suggests remaining in the Midwest
Compelling founding team
Large market
An unambiguously better value proposition
Demonstrated customer affinity at small scale
