About This Fund
11 Tribes Ventures Fund II is a $46 million early-stage venture capital fund launched in April 2025 by Chicago-based 11 Tribes Ventures. Building upon the success of its inaugural fund, Fund II aims to invest in approximately 30 companies over the next three years, with nine investments already made. The fund is distinguished by its "capital and care" philosophy, emphasizing deep, personal relationships with founders. 11 Tribes dedicates significant time to understanding a founder's personal journey, focusing on their well-being alongside business metrics. A unique aspect of Fund II is its commitment to founder resilience: 2% of invested capital is allocated as non-dilutive grants to support founders' mental, emotional, and organizational health through coaching, counseling, and therapy. Fund II positions 11 Tribes as the lead investor in most funding rounds, targeting capital-efficient businesses with sustainable growth models and exit opportunities between $75 million and $250 million.
