211vc

Description

211vc is an informal collective of business leaders that invests in purpose-driven consumer and technology start-ups. At 211, we’ve lived the problems we aim to help solve… either as customers, employers, employees, or even human beings. We bring passionate capital as well as decades of mistakes and experience to the arena. Why 211? 1 degree makes all the difference Water boils at 212ºF… and yet at 211ºF it’s hard to tell what, if anything, is happening. In business, and in life, its not much different. Challenges increase over varying lengths of time. Problems stack on top of each other. Until one day everything erupts - processes deteriorate, teams fall apart, businesses suffer immense setbacks, and even tempers flare. Often when we reach that boiling point, it’s too late to do anything constructive. Our goal is to invest in and support start-up businesses long before boiling point - usually at the very beginning when frustration is often the reason an entrepreneur endeavors on something new and innovative. We join the team with ultra-patient capital and experience at a time when optimism and cooler heads prevail and experience and past mistakes can help determined founders find exciting long-term solutions. We strive to meet and invest in technology companies and founders that are attempting to: 1) provide meaningful and innovative benefits to the frontline, often hourly, workforce – while also supporting employers who aim to improve the lives of their employees 2) provide innovate tools and capabilities to small businesses – often restaurants – to help them win even against their most formidable, much larger competitors 3) have developed a consumer startup or brand - think beverages, food, restaurants – that is so special it can’t be ignored. When we make an investment in this category, get in your car or hop online with your credit card ready because we are absolutely sure you won’t be disappointed! We look forward to hearing from you 🙏🏼
