You have to be a little crazy to build a startup
We’re a little crazy ourselves.
We started Coalition while building our companies because we know how valuable it is to have operators and founders with hard-won, tangible startup expertise on your cap table.
As a founder, one of the biggest unlocks I have discovered is having access to the top 0.1% of founders who have successfully built large companies. That is precisely what Coalition offers.”
We back founders taking big swings at important problems, driven by a deep why.
Our sweet spot is pre-seed and seed, with a target investment of $500K.

We’re longtime friends and collaborators who’ve spent our careers building and backing outlier startups. With Coalition, we’ve created the venture product we always wanted as founders: specific, tangible support from people who are still in the trenches and will always tell you the truth (and otherwise get out of your way).
You know your vision and strategy. We’re here to make your life a little easier at the edges.
Meet our team
Our support goes beyond our core team. We believe the best early stage cap tables are collaborative, so we’ve built a vetted network of 100+ world class startup operators who hold leadership roles at the tech industry’s most important companies — they’re eager to work with founders as angels, advisors, and more.
The operator network spans the most iconic technology companies.
These operators lead functions like marketing, revenue, operations, product and engineering, and many of them are founders themselves — they’re exceptional at their crafts, and are rewriting startup playbooks in real-time.
Meet our network
We stay busy
