Our Vision & Structure
"Why not now."
This is who we are, this is our ethos. We are a student run and founded venture builder that serves fellow students. We recognized that there is a network of untapped talent walking around on college campuses. Ideas that are no more than a laptop and a few sleepless nights. We invest in these people, we see the value in them long before anyone else.
We make investments of 5-10k with the opportunity for follow on investment. Outside of capital we provide a strong network of mentors to give our founders the tools and network they need to go on and later raise a seed round.
You won't find us in the halls of a huge VC firm but rather boots on the ground in libraries and coffee shops talking with founders who are going to change the world but just need a little push to do so.
So let us dream in the day and act on our dreams. The time is now and the person to do it is you. We are here for support, we are here for you, we are Linda Mar Ventures.

The Magic Number

That's it! No complicated terms, no hidden fees, no fine print that requires a magnifying glass. Just a simple 3% that lets us ride the wave with you.
Why 3%?
Because we believe in keeping things simple. It's just enough for us to be invested in your success, but small enough that you keep the vast majority of your company.We succeed when you succeed!
TLDR:
Our job is to get you what you need to be successful. We will ask you what you need and who you want to talk to and we will take it from there. We work with you, we are in your corner, we are Linda Mar Ventures.
