Investment philosophy

Venture capital has generated outstanding returns relative to other markets (source). We see this trend continuing, driven by the breakneck pace of innovation and commercialization.

Technology is reshaping markets at increasing scale and speed, creating fundamental value through new products and services, efficiency, and access. This process creates opportunities in every industry, and innovative startups are demonstrating that it is now possible to grow faster than ever before. 

From an investment perspective, we see the pre-seed/seed stage as the greatest opportunity to create value and outsized returns. 

We look for extraordinary founders and teams, and sweep the floors together to win. We are investors, but we also contribute technical, operational, finance, and other experience — and a collaborative co-founder attitude. Active support at the earliest stages can help avoid risks, accelerate growth, and create better portfolio company outcomes. 

We think long-term to target businesses aligned with the forces of innovation and network effects. We think about portfolio construction through the lenses of fundamental value, discounted cash flows, and scenario modeling.

Broom is built to “sweep the floors” for founders, support their missions, and participate in the growth of extraordinary early stage technology companies.
