Partner at 1885 Capital
Check size: $100K-$500K initial checks, according to the firm's launch materials.
Vince Nystrom invests or supports investments through 1885 Capital's published strategy: Use flexible early-stage capital structures to back high-growth industrial technology, advanced materials, enterprise software and sustainability companies rooted in the Great Lakes region.
Lead with the industrial or enterprise problem, technical differentiation, Great Lakes relevance, customer proof, capital needs and why the proposed structure fits the business.
Founders building tangible innovation for industrial markets, with capital structures matched to how the underlying business actually grows.
No formal pass list is public. Companies outside the Great Lakes focus or without a credible high-growth technology case appear less aligned.
