At Plus Ultra, we target companies with revenue approaching $1M or more, where the signs of product-market fit are evident and the growth potential is substantial.
The things we need to see to invest: | |
Traction: | We invest in Growth, not ideas or prototypes. $1M or greater Revenue/ARR or a clear growth path to this within a quarter. |
Inflection Point: | We bring Capital AND GTM operating help to drive a measurable impact on growth trajectories. Transitioning from founder-led to sales-led growth, adding new GTMs, need to scale current GTMs, or new market entry |
Growth Potential: | Companies with big ideas, proven product-market fit, competitive differentiation, large TAMs, and understanding of GTM metrics |
SPV Fit: | Business models benefitting from "Smart Capital"; models with complex GTM models or technology stacks that don't fit well into average tech investor cookie-cutter mindsets |
Check size: | Late Seed: $2-5M / Series A: $10-25M |
SPVs are our chosen investment vehicle because they align investors directly with the businesses they believe in, providing both flexibility and focus.
Our operational expertise truly sets us apart—our team collaborates closely with founders to optimize strategies, scale operations, and drive meaningful growth. We provide more than just capital; we deliver the strategic insights and hands-on support that drive long-term success.
