Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Groove Capital?
Reed Robinson, the founder and managing partner, leads investment decisions. Robinson built the fund from an angel network he cultivated through Beta.MN and the MN Cup ecosystem. The firm's investment committee structure is not publicly detailed, but Robinson's central role reflects the fund's origin as a formalization of his individual angel activity.
How does Groove Capital source proprietary deal flow?
Groove leverages Robinson's deep integration into the Twin Cities startup ecosystem, particularly through Beta.MN and the MN Cup, Minnesota's largest startup competition. The firm's proprietary channel comes from an angel network that Robinson spent years cultivating before launching the fund. This community-driven origination model gives Groove visibility into founders before they reach institutional venture firms.
