Founders from overlooked places tend to be capital efficient because there never was another option.

80% of venture capital sits in one place, but 80% of the economy sits everywhere else. Today we’re launching the connective layer: @Roots_Build It’s LinkedIn + Luma + Apollo + CRM, with an LLM on top. Query your network like a database, map intro paths through shared roots, and host events that get the right people together. Built from 5,000+ conversations with founders. Request to join: roots.build

Founders in networks get funded faster. Not because they're better, but because someone already vouched for them. If founders truly understood this, they'd fundraise differently.

FUND HIGHLIGHT💸: this fund is based in Columbia, Missouri, on purpose, and backs the founders Silicon Valley overlooks. Redbud VC (@redbudvc) backs "resilient founders" strengthened by struggle. 61% first-time entrepreneurs, 45% immigrants, 48% Midwest roots. $250K-500K generalist pre-seed checks, 500+ intros hustled for their founders, ~$150M in follow-on capital raised. They even built @Roots_Build, their own platform connecting founders, talent, and investors outside the coasts. P.S. @ThePageform is a listed perk on their vendor page. Our Pageform agent builds your data room straight from your materials, wherever you're based.

VC is still a black box for most people, especially outside the coasts. On 9/15 at @MainStSummit, I'm breaking down how it actually works + our journey building a fund from Columbia, MO — open to the public. RSVP: lnkd.in/gBwugZfK cc @skbjml | @Roots_Build

Outsider roots drive outlier returns. I'm super pumped to introduce @Roots_Build after 5,000 conversations with founders. Talent, capital, and customers are everywhere. Network connectivity is not. Roots is a social platform connecting founders, talent, investors, and enterprises through their roots. A context-enriched network graph, queryable with AI. Networking 3.0. Invite and referral only. Waitlist in comments. Where are your roots?
