Render capital

Render Capital is a Louisville, Kentucky-based venture fund dedicated to fostering a robust and thriving regional economy across the Midwest and South by investing in early-stage technology companies. Launched in 2020, the firm's mission extends beyond mere capital provision, aiming to provide comprehensive support to entrepreneurs building scalable businesses in these often-underserved markets. Their strategic focus is on addressing the capital gap in these regions, empowering local innovation and job creation.

The fund primarily targets Seed and Series A rounds, seeking out companies with strong founding teams, clear market opportunities, and scalable business models. Render Capital's investment thesis spans several key sectors, including B2B SaaS, Healthcare IT, Logistics & Supply Chain, Advanced Manufacturing, and Fintech. This diversified approach allows them to support a broad spectrum of technological advancements critical to the economic development of the regions they serve.

Render Capital manages two distinct funds: Render Capital Fund I and the Render Accelerator Fund, collectively overseeing over $30 million in capital. Their initial investment size from the main fund typically ranges from $250,000 to $1,000,000. Additionally, through the Render Accelerator Fund, they provide a $100,000 investment to companies participating in their structured accelerator programs, offering a pathway for even earlier-stage ventures. This dual-fund strategy enables them to engage with companies at various points in their early growth trajectory, from pre-seed accelerator participants to more developed Seed/Series A candidates.
