ABOUT US
We Recognize the Journey is a Marathon

Marathon’s fundamental mission is to discover and invest in exceptional founders who aspire to build market leading tech-enabled businesses. We recognize the ability of diverse entrepreneurial communities to originate scalable investment opportunities that are overlooked or underfunded in the current marketplace. Our principals have an extensive history of successful exits with diverse founders and understand the long-term grit, focus, and support it requires to succeed in your vision.

HOW WE INVEST
Investment Criteria
Investment Focus
We invest in technology enabled businesses primarily led by underrepresented founders who are in alignment with our core investment objectives and values.

OUR STRATEGY
Curating Scalable Opportunities

Our foundational premise is built on our ability to recognize exceptional founders and scalable investment opportunities at the earliest inflection point between MVP, demonstrated product market fit and initial customer traction. To accomplish this, we dig deep into the underserved startup ecosystem to curate and empower founders that demonstrate the ability to execute on a transformative plan. Once aligned, we actively lead the round in what is typically the first institutional growth capital infusion and provide the primary hands-on strategic and operational guidance through all pre-Series A rounds.
