Why 211?

1 degree makes all the difference

Water boils at 212ºF… and yet at 211ºF it’s hard to tell what, if anything, is happening.

In business, and in life, its not much different. Challenges increase over varying lengths of time. Problems stack on top of each other. Until one day everything erupts - processes deteriorate, teams fall apart, businesses suffer immense setbacks, and even tempers flare. Often when we reach that boiling point, it’s too late to do anything constructive.

At 211VC, our goal is to invest in and support start-up businesses before the challenges reach the point of no return. We address our frustrations and concerns with capital and experience at just the right time when cooler heads prevail and experience, past mistakes and wisdom can lead to solid partnerships with determined founders and intelligent long-term solutions.

We strive to meet and invest in technology companies and founders that are attempting to:

1. provide meaningful and innovative benefits to the frontline, often hourly, workforce – while also supporting employers who aim to improve the lives of their employees

2. provide innovate tools and capabilities to small businesses – often restaurants – to help them win even against their most formidable, much larger competitors

3. have developed a consumer startup or brand - think beverages, food, restaurants – that is so special it can’t be ignored. When we make an investment in this category, get in your car or hop online with your credit card or tap-payment device ready because we are absolutely sure you won’t be disappointed!

We look forward to hearing from you 🙏🏼
