Frequently asked questions
How does Flagstaff Ventures source proprietary deal flow?
The firm leverages two unusual channels. First, it has a formal partnership with Grand Canyon University's Canyon Ventures Center, giving it access to a student accelerator program and a 100,000-student network. Second, it draws on Craig Weiss's personal and professional connections in Israel for international consumer-tech deal flow (per the firm's website).
Does Flagstaff Ventures invest in CPG or only in consumer technology?
Flagstaff invests across both CPG and consumer tech. Its known portfolio includes a premium French fry manufacturer and a boxed-wine brand — evidence the fund is equally comfortable with physical-product businesses as it is with marketplaces and platforms like Appointment Trader.
What investment stages does Flagstaff Ventures target?
Flagstaff writes pre-seed and seed checks, explicitly embracing pre-revenue opportunities where it believes its talent-evaluation skills can surface high-reward ventures. The firm does not publicly indicate an appetite for growth-stage or late-stage rounds.
