Our Core Investment Focus Areas
PVIF Model
We invest in idea-stage companies led by visionary founders through the PennPromise Minimum Viable Investment Fund (PMVIF) model. Our novel venture studio approach combines institutional capital with hands-on support in design and operations, co-building the company to achieve viability. This flexible strategy starts with a minimal capital infusion, sufficient to validate the business concept and launch an MVP, with the initial capital infusion capped at essential requirements. We then invest further if needed, with funding tied to a set of time-bound milestones, ensuring a disciplined and focused growth process. By integrating investment with expertise and structured guidance, we aim to accelerate growth, reduce friction, and foster long-term sustainability.
The Pennpromise studio is well equipped to provide services tailored to individuals, SMEs, and large corporations, on a fee-based agency builder model. Our expert team collaborates with businesses of all sizes in a de-risked environment to develop innovative products.
Too many promising startups never reach their goals because while founders do get their money, they aren’t empowered enough technically and are not mentored strategically. We are well invested in your success. Our Models ensure that companies use their capital wisely– by not hiring expensive people too early or ones with the wrong skills for what’s needed. Our in-house team is hands on and leverages experience to focus on high-value capabilities that early-stage startups aren’t typically able to access.
