We invest in early-stage companies with established business models and clear paths to scalable revenues and profitability. We play in areas where we have expertise and strong networks, and where we see brand and cultural fit.

We look for total addressable markets that support the potential for $1 billion+ exits. We want a clear opportunity to impact the upside potential, and we look for ways to create downside protection. We want all of our portfolio companies to win big.

Once we identify a team with a reputable founder(s) and a proven or at least very promising product or service, we work hard for them. We open up our network. We roll up our sleeves. We help CEOs and their teams think through difficult problems and challenges. 

We are a multifaceted investment firm. In venture, we invest alongside the likes of Founders Fund and Kleiner Perkins. In real estate, we invest alongside Blackstone and Starwood, among other prominent investors. 

Our investments range from $250,000 to $15 million+. That said, our average check size is $1-2 million. We typically invest in the Seed round and Series A or B.

A partnership with A-Rod Corp is more art than science. We exit when we believe that the business has achieved certain objectives. A typical hold period is three to five years. 

Our team is composed of talented individuals from all walks of life and backgrounds. Our innovative approaches to supporting founders and building businesses is born out of our team’s diversity of thought and experience. Diversity breeds creativity and leads to better decisions and outcomes. We want to build diversity and inclusion within A-Rod Corp, and we look for diversity and inclusion in the companies we invest in.

YES! Speed is in our DNA. Our ability to move quickly and make decisions without the bureaucracy of a giant firm is a huge competitive advantage for us and for our portfolio companies and partners.
