With a diversified pool of investments, you may be wondering about how we invest. Well to be fair, we keep it simple.
How we Invest
CDM Capital is an early-stage venture firm, which is currently investing out of its fund CDM Capital Fund 1 at seed/pre-Series A stage. We are easy and flexible; we can write the first cheque or be the lead investor or happy to follow alongside other good funds.
Where we Invest
We invest in technology startups, which are solving large market problems and are run by founders with conviction. We believe that conviction is contagious. We are sector agnostic but with bias towards fintech, health-tech and SaaS businesses.
How Much we Invest
Our sweet spot is $0.5 mn but then with our fantastic LPs base, who are keen to co-invest, we have the ability to write much bigger cheques.
We Stay Committed
We have been entrepreneurs in the past, and understand that at times entrepreneurship can be a tough lonely journey. Our support stays with the founding team especially during the tough times. As bigger investors join the company, we are very comfortable stepping back to make room. While we are in this business to to make return, but our approach is not a transactional approach.
