Funding
We strive to be the best mission and founder aligned partner for startups and investors.
The Urban Us fund is focused on pre-series A investments to help teams move from concept to demonstrable traction.
URBAN-X, our accelerator built in partnership with BMW/MINI, is designed to help with company building in preparation for seed stage fundraising. While we do invest capital, we also make significant time and in-kind investments. We’ve worked with teams from all over the world, including Israel, Europe, Canada and the US. Some of the startups we’ve worked with are still in research phase and others may have raised some capital.
During the seed stage, founders benefit from having more than one investor that combines deep startup building experience, with strong domain expertise. Usually this means we invest alongside well known generalist VCs, as well as corporate VCs and knowledgeable angels.
Many of the teams we work with make use of hardware and real assets. Beyond traditional seed finance, these teams use capital like revenue-based finance, asset finance, project finance, working capital and grants. We’re deeply experienced with more complex capital requirements.

For investors seeking investments in urbantech and co-investment opportunities, we share monthly updates on our portfolio companies and routinely make introductions and host investor days. We’ve sized our fund and allocation strategy to make room for the best mix of company building and domain expertise.
