What We Look For: Partners in Growth
We're not just investing in businesses. We're investing in visions, teams, and legacies
Beyond the Balance Sheet
At 2iC Ventures, we believe lasting partnerships start with shared values. While financial metrics are important, we're equally interested in the vision and ethos behind your business. Our ideal partners demonstrate:
Healthy Margins
Strong gross (50%+) and net income (20%+) margins, indicating operational efficiency
Unique Value Proposition
A distinct edge or niche that sets you apart in your market
Streamlined Business Model
A clear, scalable, and adaptable operational structure
Proven Profitability
Consistent cash flow, typically $500K to $2M, showcasing financial stability
Established Track Record
3+ years of steady growth, demonstrating resilience and adaptability
Exceptional Team
Skilled, ethical leadership fostering a culture of excellence
Where we play
We partner with enduring businesses across various stages—from promising startups to established lower mid-market companies. While we have a particular affinity for U.S.-based niche SaaS, tech-enabled services, and traditional businesses, our investment approach remains flexible and open-minded. If you've built an exceptional business in any sector that demonstrates long-term potential, we're eager to explore the opportunity. Our focus is on identifying and nurturing companies with strong foundations and unique value propositions, regardless of their industry.
Every business has potential
While our investment criteria provide a framework, we recognize that exceptional businesses don't always fit neatly into predefined categories. If your company has established a unique position in its industry or demonstrates enduring potential, we're eager to engage in a conversation—even if you're still progressing towards some of our typical benchmarks. At 2iC Ventures, we value future potential as much as current performance. We're committed to identifying and nurturing businesses with strong foundations and innovative approaches, regardless of their current size or stage.
