Firehouse Ventures
Pre-seed leadSourced through FintaUnited States

Invest early in startups that have already proven they can raise.

Most early-stage investing is a guess. Firehouse only backs the top 1% of founders on Finta — people who have already proven they can raise — then helps them raise their next round, when your stake can grow.

What you get that other angel deals don't give you.

1

Founders who’ve already proven themselves

Every company has already run a real raise on Finta — then passes Firehouse’s own review.

2

In at the earliest price

Firehouse leads the first round, so you invest when a company’s value is at its lowest.

3

Help raising the next round

After you invest, Finta helps the company raise again — when your stake can grow in value.

4

Invest your way

Proven execution on Finta

Every company we consider has already run a real raise on the platform — before our own criteria are ever applied.

2

Firehouse diligence on top

We apply our own investment criteria to the strongest of that pool. Every company is vetted twice.

Real rounds, closed by founders in the ecosystem.

Questions from investors.

Who can invest?

Firehouse is built for accredited investors joining deals through the syndicate. Let us know your status in the form above.

What is the minimum investment?

Syndicate deals typically start at $1,000–$5,000 per deal; the exact minimum is shown with each deal. Share your annual range in the form and we’ll match you to the right opportunities.

Do I have to invest in every deal?

No. Through the syndicate (500+ members) you review each deal as it’s shared and choose only the startups you want to back.

How are deals shared?

Deals are run on AngelList. When a company clears both filters — proven execution on Finta and Firehouse diligence — members receive the opportunity and materials to review.

What are the fees and carry?

There’s no management fee on syndicate deals. Firehouse earns a 20% carry — a share of profits that’s only paid after you get your money back. Full terms are shown with each deal before you commit.

What reporting will I receive?

Deals are administered on AngelList, which prepares your K-1 tax forms each year at no cost to you. Firehouse also shares updates on portfolio companies as they progress.

Do I need a Finta account?

No. Finta is where founders raise; you don’t need an account to invest with Firehouse. If you already have one, let us know in the form.
