Flyover Capital
Description
Flyover Capital is a venture capital firm strategically positioned in Overland Park, United States, with a distinct focus on fostering early-stage technology companies within the "Flyover region." This area, encompassing the Midwest and other underserved tech markets, is central to their mission of bridging the funding gap and cultivating robust innovation ecosystems outside traditional coastal hubs. The firm's investment thesis is rooted in identifying promising startups that are leveraging technology to address significant market opportunities, often with a strong emphasis on B2B software, fintech, and digital health solutions. Their commitment extends beyond capital, aiming to provide strategic guidance and network access to their portfolio companies.
The firm typically invests in Seed to Series A rounds, providing crucial early-stage capital to help companies scale. Flyover Capital has demonstrated a consistent growth in its fund sizes, reflecting increasing investor confidence and a broader reach. For instance, they successfully raised their second fund, Flyover Capital II, with $50 million in commitments, followed by their third fund, Flyover Capital III, which closed at $60 million. These funds enable them to deploy initial checks that generally range from $500,000 to $2 million, with a capacity for follow-on investments to support portfolio companies through subsequent growth stages. Their investment strategy is designed to provide significant runway for startups to achieve key milestones before larger institutional rounds.
