Supporting the next generation of excellent founders
Tandem was the brainchild of a Unicorn founder and an institutional investor wanting to find and invest in the next generation of Unicorn founders.
How We Invest
Pre-Seed
We invest in this stage, but it isn’t our focus. We want to see at least an MVP and ideally some revenue.
Seed
This is where we do a lot of our investing.
Give us a founder with early signs of PMF and we want in. We reserve a lot of dry powder for the companies we invest in.
Series A
Although, we can’t always lead, we swing way above our weight class in the value we bring–we drive revenue.
Series B+
Our Series B+ checks are into companies that we’ve backed through their start-up journey.
Outside of our existing portfolio, we’ve only done one deal past Series B.
