CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
This is institutional venture capital, so competition is high and most applicants will not receive funding.
Concrete Rose operates a dedicated fund (Fund II) with check sizes between $250K and $1M, meaning they make a limited number of bets per fund cycle. Only standout teams with strong traction or vision will advance.
WHAT IT TAKES
Review their portfolio and focus areas to confirm fit — 1–2 hours
Prepare a pitch deck covering problem, solution, traction, and team — 1–2 weeks
Submit or reach out via their website — 1 hour
WORTH KNOWING
Concrete Rose emphasizes both financial and social capital — founders who can articulate a mission tied to wealth-building or opportunity for underserved communities may resonate more strongly with their thesis.
