Bringing seed-stage startups to life

IN Wisconsin

We invest in exceptional founders across the Upper Midwest, including our home state of Wisconsin, where resilient industries and strong communities fuel innovation, growth, and value creation.

Our Strategy

The Winnow Fund’s strategy involves making numerous small investments in early-stage companies. Investing early allows us to obtain an equity stake that mitigates some of the risks involved with investing at this stage.

Fund I Investments

Winnow Fund raised more than $10 million for Fund I and invested in nearly a dozen companies. Visit the Portfolio page to learn more about our Fund I investments.
