Resolute is focused on finding extraordinary entrepreneurs and helping them succeed over the course of their career. Because our approach is so entrepreneur-focused, we are comfortable investing at the earliest of stages, often before any other investors. We make investment decisions quickly.  Very soon after our first meeting, we will either pass or articulate a discrete roadmap to a decision. We will invest as little as $50k and as much as $750k in a company’s initial financing. We prefer being a lead investor and guiding our entrepreneurs to the key milestones for a successful venture round.   We dislike “headless” seed rounds that lack a lead investor. Post investment we immediately focus on ensuring these milestones are clearly defined, and work to help our entrepreneurs achieve them. Rinse and repeat.

This partnership with top-tier founders makes companies in Primary’s portfolio 2x more likely to raise a Series A and 19x more likely to reach a billion-dollar-plus valuation—a third of Fund I companies are unicorns, less than a decade out.  We’re always excited to meet 99th-percentile founders building in B2B SaaS, built world, fintech, healthcare, infrastructure, and supply chain. And while we have a home court advantage in NYC, we invest globally, at pre-seed through A.
