Who We are

Built By Founders,

For founders
At Collab Capital, we don’t just understand the founder journey. We’ve lived it.
We’ve built companies, faced biases, and navigated the tough conversations and roadblocks many founders never see coming. These lived experience give us the foresight to prepare founders for challenges they may not know to expect and the empathy to support them when issues arise. 

We're more than investors - we're true collaborators.

We offer the playbook, perspective, and protection that come from knowing the founder journey firsthand.

How We Partner

No One Builds Alone

When we say (collab)oration, we mean it. It’s not a buzzword or a box to check. It's the foundation of everything we do.
We stand side by side with our founders because we know building something meaningful takes more than money. Our support is personal, practical, and proactive. We coach with honesty.  Invest with context.  Support with clarity.
As founders ourselves, we have built Collab to be the kind of partner we wish we had–showing up in ways that matter because the journey is demanding, and no one builds alone.
