Announcing The Community Fund Investment Team

We’re thrilled to announce The Community Fund investment team.

After +450 applicants went through our selection process, we accepted just 2% of the talented and community-centric applicants as partners on our new team. Our 11 partners will work closely with Jesse and me to change how the world thinks about who builds the most successful companies and who funds them.

Our partners include Elias Torres, Cheryl Campos, Calanthia Mei, Melissa Moore, Hassan Bhatti, Sonia Nagar, Aaron Samuels, Kara Weber, Mike Swift, Songe LaRon, and Dave Salvant. They are leaders in communities that span across and within North America. They are collaborative operators, founders, and investors who bring with them a wide range of complementary functional and industry expertise. The best part is that they are good human beings that care to share their gifts with their communities and the founders they invest in. We’re lucky to have such a team.

We invite you to follow our journey and learn more about our investment partners by subscribing to our newsletter and following us at @thecommunityvc. Each partner will share their story in the coming weeks.

If you’re a founder of an early-stage community-driven startup and would like for The Community Fund to review your company for investment consideration, please submit your company details here.

The Community Fund

The Community Fund is a $5 million early-stage fund that invests in community-driven companies through an investment partner team. We believe that companies with community at the center of all that they do will become unicorns and produce outsized returns.
