For Founders

Founder Application

You have the tech, now you need access. With a deep bench of corporate LPs, Heartland Ventures connects you to customers.

Based in the Midwest AND on the coasts, we understand what startups do, and more importantly, how it translates to the Heartland corporate buyer. We help you get a seat at the table with the decision-makers and power users of well-qualified potential customers and then provide the support you need to make the most of the opportunity.

When is Heartland Ventures right for you?

  • Raising a Pre-Seed, Seed, or Series A round
  • B2B strategy targeting the Real Estate, Construction, Manufacturing, and/or Logistics
  • Your primary focus of this raise is building toward Product-Market Fit, creating a repeatable Go-to-Market Strategy, or growing sales and distribution

We’re focused on adding value

  • Our decision-making process is focused on 1 key factor: can we connect you to customers that want to buy your solution?
  • We will help de-risk your aspirations of Midwestern expansion by generating customer validation… even before we invest!
  • We will have an immediate impact on expediting the sales process with key accounts from within our network of industry-leading executives.
