We are committed to supporting early-stage founders in overcoming their most pressing challenges by providing them with the capital, strategic guidance, and network necessary to succeed. Our approach goes beyond just funding; we focus on helping entrepreneurs build strong, high-performing teams, validate their business ideas through real-world testing, and gain access to early customers and key market insights. By leveraging the collective expertise of our network, we aim to accelerate the growth of promising startups and drive meaningful long-term value.

Our investment philosophy is rooted in three core principles that shape our decision-making and the entrepreneurs at the heart of this initiative.

1. Exclusive Support for Sigma Chi Founders – We prioritize supporting startups, specifically at the Angel and Pre-seed funding stages, where at least one founder is a Sigma Chi member in good standing, is working full-time on the business, and holds a minimum of 10% equity. This ensures that we are not only investing in strong businesses but also reinforcing the values and network of our fraternity. Betting on Sigma Chis, shows we believe our members live the values and can be trusted to be ambitious, trustworthy, transparent, and fair in their business dealings.

2. Long-Term Viability and Financial Returns – Our primary focus is on startups that demonstrate strong business fundamentals and potential for significant financial returns. While we appreciate companies with social impact components, we prioritize startups based on their ability to generate sustainable growth and profitability.

3. Equitable Access to Resources and Funding – We believe that great founders can come from anywhere. Our group is committed to ensuring that Sigma Chi entrepreneurs receive fair access to mentorship, funding, and resources regardless of their alma mater, work history, or previous startup experience. Our goal is to level the playing field for all Sigma Chi founders with promising business ideas.
