Frequently asked questions
How does Mischief source proprietary deal flow?
Mischief's website explicitly states a referral preference: "Please get in touch through someone we know — that always works best." The partners' deep operator networks — spanning Plaid, Cash App, Front, and Dote Shopping — serve as the primary sourcing channel, filtering for warm introductions inside early-stage software circles.
Does Mischief participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
The firm invests directly into early-stage software companies, writing initial checks of $1 million to $5 million. There is no public indication of fund-of-fund commitments, secondary activity, or participation in commingled vehicles. The portfolio and website description align with a direct-investment model.
