LOOKING GLASS CAPITAL LLC

Thesis

The firm focuses on "first yes" investments in mission-driven founders tackling significant societal challenges, employing a high-conviction, non-consensus approach. Their investment thesis centers on backing ambitious founders building software and software-driven companies across three primary themes: Health (digital health, telemedicine, healthcare tech, medical device software), Climate & Sustainability (clean energy tech, carbon management, environmental sustainability), and Empowerment (human capital, workforce development, economic empowerment). They exclusively target pre-seed and seed-stage investments, often being the first institutional investor, and are comfortable leading or co-leading rounds. Their geographic scope is primarily North America, with a strong presence on the East Coast. While specific AUM is not disclosed, they are actively investing out of their second fund. The typical initial investment ranges from $300,000 to $400,000, with participation in rounds typically between $750,000 and $2 million, aiming to avoid excessive dilution.
