Born out of a love for building startups and a passion for backing entrepreneurs with heart, Corazon Capital (spanish for “heart”), a leading Chicago-based venture fund, brings a coastal approach to Pre-Seed, Seed and Series A investing. There’s no such thing as “too early.” With a rare blend of investing experience and operating expertise, Corazon Capital provides unusually pragmatic, actionable counsel to the entrepreneurs it supports. Corazon Capital believes that the best entrepreneurs and the smartest VCs will intentionally solicit both financial and operating investors in their syndicates, with Corazon Capital recognized across geographies for its deep operating knowledge and reach inside and outside of Chicago.
We communicate with candor, operate with integrity, and demonstrate pragmatism
We think independently, act boldly, and look for non-obvious opportunity
We show empathy for others, cultivate equanimity, and balance our whole selves across work and play
We seek growth, learn from our failure, and welcome the future
We invite diverse perspectives, strive for equity, and embrace inclusivity
