FilKor Capital

FilKor invests from Seed through late-stage venture rounds, with a core focus on Seed and Series A. The firm reserves capital for follow-on investments into Series B, C, and later rounds when portfolio companies continue to execute. Stage coverage spans initial pre-revenue checks through expansion-stage companies approaching profitability.

FilKor typically leads or co-leads Seed and Series A rounds, taking active board seats. In later-stage rounds, the firm participates as a follow-on investor alongside new lead investors from coastal venture ecosystems. FilKor's website references a venture partner network that supports co-investment due diligence.

FilKor sources primarily from Midwestern university spinouts, corporate R&D alumni networks, and regional accelerator programs. The firm's venture partner model extends into operating executives at companies like Motorola Solutions, Caterpillar, and Walgreens, creating deal flow from enterprise technology teams leaving large Chicago-area employers.

Public records suggest initial checks of $1M to $5M at Seed and Series A, consistent with Midwest early-stage round sizes. Follow-on reserves are not publicly disclosed but are implied by the firm's stated commitment to support portfolio companies through multiple funding cycles.

FilKor does not publicly state sector exclusions. The firm's generalist technology mandate and concentration on capital-efficient business models suggest limited appetite for capital-intensive cleantech hardware, pure biotech, or speculative crypto infrastructure plays—though no formal exclusion policy is published.
