Their Thesis

At the firm level, LongJump is a founder-led, first-check fund backing ambitious founders in the Midwest with a strong bias toward Chicago.

How to Pitch Them

Use LongJump's official contact or application channel. Lead with fit to Pre-seed and first check, explain why the company matches Industry agnostic with a Midwest and Chicago focus, and support claims with traction and a concise use-of-capital plan.

What Excites Them

LongJump's published criteria emphasize passionate and resourceful Midwest founders turning ambitious ideas into fast-growing, scalable businesses. This is firm-level context, not an unsupported personal attribution.

What They Pass On

No person-specific exclusions were published. At the firm level, companies outside its earliest-stage Midwest mandate or without a scalable venture case are unlikely to fit.
