President & CEO
MassVenturesCheck size: MassVentures does not publish one standard check-size range across its equity and grant programs on its current website.
Charlie Hipwood contributes to MassVentures's published strategy: Fund research-driven Massachusetts startups with venture investment, grants and commercialization support to strengthen the state's innovation economy.
The firm's public strategy favors founders and companies closely aligned with Deep Tech, Climate Tech, Life Sciences at Pre-Seed and Seed and Early Stage stages. No separate personal preference is claimed without first-party evidence.
No person-specific pass list is public. Opportunities outside MassVentures's stated stages, sectors or geographic mandate are less likely to fit the published strategy.
Show clear fit with MassVentures's Pre-Seed/Seed/Early Stage mandate, explain the problem and defensibility, provide evidence of traction appropriate to the stage, and state the financing need and use of funds.
