Our Philosophy

We believe Venture Capitalists are service providers. Our mission is to deliver world-class support to founders through every interaction, from first meeting to exit.

Speed

We believe speed is the most important vector of any early stage, high-growth company. We pledge to match the urgency of every founder we meet.

Transparency

We believe speed and trust are governed by transparency. We commit to make our investment terms simple, our decisions quickly, and our diligence available to founders.

Anywhere

We believe outlier founders come from anywhere and therefore spend the majority of our time focused on undercapitalized markets like the Southeast U.S.

Trusted Networks

We believe in the compounding power of trusted networks to accelerate growth.

Like the founders we partner with, Dogwood Ventures is our life’s work.
