Where do we invest?
We invest in technology start-ups of all shapes and sizes. Unlike many early-stage seed and angel investors, we’re more concerned about building businesses that generate real revenue than investing in businesses with the potential for a massive exit.
Our favorite types of businesses are those with sustainable recurring revenue models or disruptive technology for traditional industries like manufacturing or agriculture, but we’re open to any type of technology-based business. Basically, if you have a great idea or a great market, we’re interested in talking with you.

How much do we invest?
The actual amount invested varies greatly depending on the potential of the company and the market. Typical investments are in the value range of $10,000 to $100,000 at an equity cost ranging from 5%-15%. These investments are restricted and designed to cover the cost of planning, designing, and deploying MVP product prototypes and supporting those launches.
Selection Process
We are extremely selective about the projects we invest in. Not only does the idea have to be right but the partnership between you and our team must also be the right fit for both of us.
Step 1: Apply
Fill out the application form online. Provide as much information as you are comfortable providing. The better the information, the more likely we make it to Step 2.
Step 2: Due Diligence
If your start-up meets our base investment criteria and your idea seems promising, we will begin a due diligence process where our team will vet your team, the market, and your idea.
Step 3: Equity Offer
If your start-up passes the due diligence process we will make you an equity investment offer.
Support & Involvement
We consider each of our investments as a true partnership. Our team is there to work with you at every step of the way from early-stage planning to ongoing support and consulting. We’re there when you need us, however you need us, just like a real business partner should be.
FAQ's
Will you sign my NDA?
Probably not. Given the nature of our business, we hear dozens of ideas on a daily basis and there tends to be a great deal that are remarkably similar in nature. We promise that we will never frivolously share or expose your idea to the market or to your competitors, nor will we directly develop your idea as a product.
If I am accepted, how much equity will be required?
We are very particular in accepting companies into our program. We only work with companies we believe have a high likelihood of being successful. The amount of equity required will vary based on the difficulty of the project and the amount of outside funding but typically ranges from 5-25%.
What if I am not a startup?
Seedology works with businesses of all shapes and sizes. You do not have to be a startup nor do you have to commit to an equity agreement. We’re open to helping your business no matter where you are in the business lifecycle.
What if I don’t want to give up equity?
Our talented team is available for direct hire. Apply just like any startup and choose that you want to do direct pay and we will bid the project as a direct-hire development project. We still offer all of the same services and no equity investment is required.
How long does the development process take?
The process varies greatly depending on the complexity of your application. Most MVP projects can be completed in 6-12 weeks.
Do you require a board seat?
Typically, no, we do not require a board seat even when investing in an equity deal. This may vary depending on our role in the project but everything is up for negotiation.
