Company Profile
Founded in 2014 by Josh Manchester, Champion Hill Ventures is a Raleigh, North Carolina-based venture capital firm that seeks to invest in founders solving large, overlooked problems. The firm focuses on identifying non-consensus ideas, pre-category behaviors, and innovations that are structurally underserved by traditional capital markets.
Champion Hill Ventures invests primarily in three thematic areas: defense and hard technology (including companies like SpaceX, Anduril, and Umbra), new computing regimes and digital sovereignty (such as Eco, Casa, and Skiff), and "curveballs"—companies that defy conventional categories, including Flexport and Fount. The firm typically invests at the inception or pre-seed stage, occasionally participating in later-stage special purpose vehicles (SPVs).
The leadership team includes founder Josh Manchester, a former US Marine Corps officer with extensive operational experience and investment background, and Robert Haddick, a former Director of Research with expertise in long/short and arbitrage strategies and defense analysis. Champion Hill Ventures manages multiple funds, with a new fund expected to open in June 2025, and has a portfolio spanning innovative technology and defense sectors globally.
