Large AUMs, Led by Diverse GPs

Why are statistics showing such limited financing and outcomes for women, minorities, and regionally dispersed founders? There seems to be a lack of competition when it comes to providing equity to companies led by individuals in these demographics. Recognizing this gap, we have incorporated into our core strategy not only the need to progressively expand our fund size as asset allocators but also to foster a competitive culture around these incredibly underestimated investment opportunities.

From Silicon Valley to Houston, New York to Miami, it is evident that a competitive landscape for companies raising funds instills confidence in co-investors and enables these visionary leaders to secure capital more easily, even through multiple funding rounds up to Series B.

As early-stage investors, we have observed that regardless of our founders' access to key investment firms, there is currently a lack of lead investors actively competing to invest in high-potential opportunities. Devland has consistently held an exceptional position as the primary point of contact for emerging companies that exemplify ESG principles in their purest form. We are taking bold steps to secure pro rata shares in high-quality opportunities that will attract investment from renowned firms such as Softbank, A16z, Tiger Global, Sequoia, and others. By doing so, we aim to become part of the new class of leading firms with significant assets under management, boasting portfolios that redefine industry standards in terms of ESG and DEI representation.

Based on our ongoing progress and thorough investment research, we firmly believe that achieving this goal is inevitable.

Better entrepreneurs, accelerate innovation.

Building a company is a challenging endeavor for entrepreneurs, especially when faced with limited networks, resources, and funding. Our initial goal was to create disruptive companies that utilize software to scale. Along the way, we discovered a previously untapped group of venture builders and researchers who approach solving the world's most difficult problems in ways we had not yet considered. Their focus areas encompass diverse fields such as small-scale manufacturing, food and consumer goods innovation, artificial intelligence, spatial computing, and immersive technology. These individuals possess multidisciplinary skillsets that surpass their previous accomplishments as researchers and seasoned business professionals. The ability to explore ideas with ample resources and patient capital has been instrumental in defining our past successes and shaping our future prospects.

Our work is groundbreaking, defining new categories and generating untapped markets. Through constant iteration, we uncover insights that have eluded teams solely focused on rapid growth. It is crucial to shift the paradigm of how companies are conceived, making sustainability a key consideration.

For our investors, this translates into unlocking founder-like returns at the earliest stages. We leverage our unique visibility to gather insights on industry trends, business model structures, leadership behaviors, repeatable business process frameworks, and design models that enhance efficiency. We collaborate with funders to fuel our efforts in exploring new possibilities and driving research that influences investment perspectives and market awareness, spanning from emerging trends to low-level details.

Creating low-risk environments fosters superior outcomes.

By disrupting early, we lay the foundation for more innovative ecosystems and enable the future of entrepreneurship.
