Spearhead

“There has always been an arbitrary mindset division between labor and capital in early stage funding.” spearhead.co/cohort-5

Have really enjoyed the perspective this program has given me on my own company and fundraising. The setup is super light touch and low lift so it doesn’t distract when you need to be heads down. Highly recommended!

Spearhead is IMO one of the best founder investor programs: > zero pressure = not a distraction > enough money to actually play ball > minimal overhead > focus is on you, not the VC firm's brand Thnx @jake_zeller @naval Jeff for letting me invest in my friend's crazy co's :)

This is a *huge* opportunity for current venture-backed founders to become angel investors. The bar for acceptance is extremely high, so please don't ask me if I can get you in or recommend you 😬 If you're the best of the best, that will come across naturally.

I haven't yet met a founder who doesn't prefer raising money from other founders. If you're a founder who wants capital to invest in other companies, @spearhead is the deal of a lifetime They have been my biggest and most supportive investor. DM's open if you have questions

There’s an artificial divide between startup labor and capital. We started Spearhead to close this divide. Founders should invest in the companies they’re helping. And have a bigger stake in their success. Learn more in this post by Jeff: spearhead.co/cohort-5

Young startups don’t need to pitch partnerships for big checks anymore. The first founders in Spearhead were making $50K investments. Now some founders are making $1.5M investments, and growing.

Applications for Spearhead are now open. We’ve doubled first funds to $2M and second funds to $10M. spearhead.co
