An existing company, not an idea
We deploy capital into established companies with product in market and revenue. Bring the product, the customers and the evidence. We are not a pre-product fund, and a polished deck is not a substitute for work already done.
A product that owns an outcome
Show us what happens after the demo. Does your product execute real actions and finish the workflow? Or does it generate suggestions that a person has to turn into work? AI-native means taking responsibility for the result.
A customer with a costly problem
Be specific about the customer and the pain. What does the problem cost today? What changes when your product is installed? A credible number beats a broad claim about productivity. We want a customer who can explain why the product matters.
A clear path to scale
Growth should not require adding people at the same rate as revenue. Show us how onboarding, support and delivery become repeatable. Be honest about the parts of the business that still need manual attention.
A management team that knows the work
We back operators, domain experts and technical leaders who have lived the problem. You do not need to have every answer. You do need a sharp view of the customer, sound judgment and the resolve to build through the difficult parts.
A position that is hard to replicate
Tell us what gets stronger as the company grows. Proprietary data, deep workflow integration, network effects and distribution relationships can all matter. Access to the same model everyone else uses does not.
A brief introduction is enough to begin. Explain what you are building, who it is for, the traction so far and what kind of partner you need. Deck optional, conviction required.
Real markets. Real outcomes. A team that understands both.
Frequently asked questions.
What should we send in an introduction?
A brief description of the company, the customer, the product and your traction. Tell us what you are looking for in a partner. A deck is optional.
Will Cinque Capital take a majority position?
We consider both majority and minority equity positions, with operational or passive investment structures.
How quickly do you move?
We move quickly when the fit is clear. A focused thesis and clear criteria let us ask the important questions early.
