About Us
The Seed-Strapping, Moneyball, Anti-VC Fund
We are not a traditional venture fund. We are operators and builders who deliver liquidity faster and more efficiently than legacy VC firms. We help companies scale lean, exit early, and win big.
​
Our average Check Size is $1,000,000 and we like to lead.​
​
Our Edge
​
36-48 Month Exit Focus
We actively engineer accelerated exits through our venture studio and partnerships, compressing the exit timeline.
​
Seed-Strapping Model
We fund capital-efficient startups with proven founders who can reach profitability or strategic exit readiness without bloated rounds.
​
Moneyball Meets AI
AI-powered sourcing + expert human review = efficient, data-driven investing into undervalued but high-upside opportunities.
​
1/5 the Carry Overhead
We operate lean, with 20% the cost structure of traditional VC, maximizing returns for LPs.
​
Proven Founders Only
We invest exclusively in battle-tested founders with successful exits or elite accelerator pedigrees.
​
E-SAFE with Early Exit Capture Model
We invest through customized E-SAFEs that:
-
Include exit-trigger clauses that convert into equity or return a premium in the event of early acquisition (before a priced round).
-
Secure pro-rata rights and MFN protections.
-
Allow us to capture upside even when companies don’t raise follow-on rounds but exit through acquisition.
​
Strategic Partnerships & M&A Acceleration
Our venture studio helps portfolio companies become acquisition targets faster via operational support, M&A prep, and warm introductions to corporate buyers.
​
Rapid Referral Flywheel
We fast-track our companies to follow-on investors and acquirers when they hit critical milestones.
​
M-SAFE
At Bad Ventures, we don’t just invest in startups, we engineer the structures that unlock their potential.
That’s why we created the M‑SAFE
