When we created Fulcrum Chicago, we looked to build a new kind of venture firm. We focus on identifying, providing, and improving the key success factors for ventures across all stages of growth. We are different than most venture firms you’ll likely meet.

Our partners work as a team. Each of us participates on every deal. This allows every investment to draw upon the full experience and expertise of our team.

• We do not raise a fund upfront and charge the traditional management fees. Consequently, we do not have the pressures of deploying pre-committed funds based on time, expected return, or investment size constraints.
• We pursue select internally generated ideas for development to remain relevant to the latest technologies and consumer trends, as well as for investment diversification.

We are a team of technologists, strategists, and entrepreneurs. We recognize that every investment is different. Whether it’s capital infusion, interim management, incubation services, strategic advisory, or key introductions to our network, we actively work with our portfolio companies, clients, and partners to achieve their goals.
