ThingVC is an impact-driven micro venture capital fund that makes early stage investments in nontraditional entrepreneurs.

Our Thing

We look for great people with great intentions and great expectations.

Yes, we write checks, but we also provide the mentorship, connections, and support necessary to turn ideas into reality.

To get started, just fill out our online application. Selected entrepreneurs will be asked to submit business plans and meet in person/via Zoom. Finally, the best and brightest are offered investment and invited to become ThingVC portfolio companies.

We believe that anybody who’s given an opportunity could create the next big thing.

Mike Gellman
was waiting tables at The Outback Steakhouse when he took a $10,000 investment from his father and turned it into Spire Digital, one of the world’s top digital transformation firms, which, with no additional funding, was eventually acquired for more than $35 million dollars.

Chris Glodé
took the money he earned helping MapMyFitness grow to the point that it was acquired by UnderArmour, and invested it in an idea he had and a friend he believed in. That company, BrandFolder, was sold for more than $150 million dollars.

Everyone is invited to apply, from all backgrounds, locations, situations, and industries. We’re simply looking for great people with great ideas.
