# Raising

We back exceptional founders at the earliest stage, often before the deck is polished or the company has a name. Already building, or still deciding to make the jump? Tell us about it.

Propel usually invests $500K to $5M as an initial investment. We can lead, co-lead, or meaningfully participate, and can move in days or match whatever timeline you prefer.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. If there is a fit, we reach out to meet.
