Investing in those when others won’t

In 2013, I founded No. 2 Mission Row - an Adventure Capital firm - to invest in early-stage startups

An adventure capitalist is someone who invests in projects that traditional venture capitalists consider too risky for their funding. Finding this type of capitalist is harder than locating venture capitalists, and they may make a smaller investment than the typical venture capitalist because of the higher risk. Adventure capitalists are looking for exciting, innovative and unique business ventures, and they get involved at the earliest stages of a startup. Like venture capitalists, they offer industry knowledge, business management and marketing experience, and strong networks of support.
