Venture Capital – Union Heritage

OUR APPROACH

Union Heritage Ventures is a majority African American- and woman-owned venture capital firm headquartered in Michigan. We are a Michigan-first investor with a focus on high-tech companies in the Advanced Manufacturing, Climate Tech, Consumer, Future of Transportation, and Healthcare sectors. We invest in companies and founders who leverage their cultural competency to solve important problems that have a definitive, positive impact on underrepresented communities.

Industries: Advanced Manufacturing, Climate Tech, Consumer, Future of Transportation, and Healthcare
Stage: Pre-Seed – Series A
Range of Check Size (Depending on Stage): $50k-$1.5 million
Geographic Focus: All companies must be incorporated in the U.S.
Product & Business Model: We do not invest in idea-stage companies. Even with limited resources, we believe the founding team should have interviewed a statistically significant number of paying customers and used their creativity for at least a proof of concept (e.g., lab experimentation, Minimum Viable Product, etc.).

Our initial intake form helps us get critical answers up front, so we use your valuable time wisely in an initial meeting. Expect to provide information to help us understand the problem and how you’re solving it, market size, scalability, team expertise, product strategy, and, most importantly, immediate and future milestones.
If, after reviewing the information provided in our intake form, there might be a fit, we’ll reach out to schedule an initial call. In this call, we’ll want to learn more about you and your motivation for building this business.
Should there be an initial founder/investor fit after this first call, we’ll begin due diligence activities.

Our Strategic Value

Fundraising: From data room and deck preparation to pitch practices and fractional CFO services, we help equip founders with the tools and expertise to raise with confidence
