Think-Strong Ventures invests in early-stage companies that reshape how we live, work, and play.

Investment Thesis

  • We invest in people first. Are you and your team people with the drive, integrity, intelligence, and fortitude to build a company with a positive impact?

  • We expect our portfolio companies to benefit their workplace. How are you helping the city, town, or village where you are located? If you are a virtual company, what are your plans for making a positive impact in the places where everyone lives and works?

  • Your business must not harm the environment.

  • What is your and your team's current participation in philanthropy? When you succeed, what is your philanthropic plan?

  • We don’t invest in companies that plan to lose money forever. What is your plan to make a profit?
