Investment Criteria
What is SDF looking for?
Led by our San Francisco/New York investment team, the Stellar Enterprise Fund is dedicated to fostering innovation with companies at any stage, size, and geography. Our team listens and supports the management team, working to truly understand the value the Stellar ecosystem can bring to the company, and vice versa. We invest in both emerging and established companies across the globe, with a dual focus: driving local innovation to solve local challenges and connecting our portfolio companies to our expansive network.
All of our portfolio companies either have built on Stellar or will be. Potential partnerships are evaluated based on the added value the Stellar network brings, the company's impact on ecosystem growth, team competency and commitment, financial viability within 18-24 months, and the strategic timing of the investment.
