We Build SaaS

We are a $6.4mm pre-seed fund, focused on B2B SaaS. We are the first non-angel check. We focus primarily on Greenville, SC-based companies but will consider opportunities within a reasonable drive from Greenville.

What makes us different?

We guide you. We drive you. We help you. We use our deep experience to make sure you don’t step into the same potholes we stepped in. Are we the smartest team in Seed Investing? Nope. I have no doubt other VCs have better SATs than we do. And they probably went to the right MBA program. You know what? There’s a difference between book-smart and street-smart. We are street-smart. We are scrappy founders that love supporting founders.

Do you fit our thesis?

Answer these simple questions, and, if they resonate, reach out to us immediately.

  1. Are you SaaS?
  2. Are you located within a 1.5-hour drive of Greenville, SC?
  3. Do you have paying customers that aren’t family friends?
  4. Do you have at least $50k ARR?
  5. Can you achieve $1mm ARR with no more than $2mm capital?
  6. Can you achieve $10mm ARR with no more than $5mm total capital?
  7. Are you ecstatic with a $50mm exit?

If you answer 7 out of 7 yes, reach out to us. But we are laser-focused on the magic 7 above.

Just like you, we are focused. We know focus is required to win. We want to win. When you work with us, we all have a chance to win.

Our Values

Honesty – No bullshit. We tell you like we see it.
Integrity – We treat you the way we want to be treated.
Discipline – We do not stray from our focus.
Commitment – Once we invest, we are your partner until exit.
Focus – No shiny objects that divert our attention.
Fair – Realistic valuations with straight-forward NVCA terms.
Clean – No dirty cap table, warrants, or crazy brother-in-law 5% owners for their “advice.”

Please note that Founderville Fund I only invests in B2B SaaS tied to Greenville, SC. Stay tuned for future funds that will expand outside Greenville, SC.
