LuCid Visions

PRE-SEED & SEED VENTURE CAPITAL | ACCELERATOR

Lucid Visions supports the best early stage companies by filling an undersupplied gap with pre-seed & seed equity capital and value-add resources. Many good ideas are undersupplied with the resources that they need to meet their demand. As a result, they must patiently wait for early organic cash flow to accumulate over time while having to pass up on dynamic growth opportunities in the interim. Lucid Visions supports our community by filling the void through accelerating a company’s strategic growth. With a combination of financial and human capital, pre-seed companies can now have access to resources that were previously difficult to obtain, which we believe will result in profitable and mission-oriented growth to benefit stakeholders.

Fund goals

Characteristics of companies that are supported by Lucid Visions and historically have been most undersupplied, include:

INDUSTRY:

All industries welcome. We have particular knowledge of “fringe” and emerging industries with complex regulatory navigation. This includes hemp, sex tech, pharmaceutical psychadelics.

SIZE:

Pre-revenue/pre-operating companies. Still in MVP phase or idea phase.

We generally do not invest in pre-revenue/pre-operating companies with valuations greater than $1 million. Over-valued companies usually indicate that the Founder is not a subject matter expert (they cannot build their idea with their own skills) or is greedy and trying to line their own pockets; a dream without capital has no value. A Founder looking for a spark to ignite the flame of their idea realizes this fact, and values their ideas properly. Making $1 million is incredibly hard…just try it.

GEOGRAPHIC REGION:

International, with preference on the Pacific Northwest, especially in Oregon and Southwest Washington.

GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES:

Target companies are growth and innovation-oriented with low initial capital needs, with heavy reliance on reliable and intelligent operators, high growth potential, and tight controls over finances.

OWNERSHIP:

Founder(s) / entrepreneur(s) owned and is (are) interested in remaining majority owner(s). We typically provide an active role as an executive of the company as an Accelerator.

INVESTMENT SIZE:

$100k max equity capital for 10-49% ownership, depending on level of active operational/executive involvement. Average deal size is approximately $10k, with progressive, incremental funding, based on need.
