Investment Thesis

Our investment philosophy: throw it at the wall and see what sticks.

The Al Dente Approach

At SpaghettiWall VC, we believe the best investments are like perfectly cooked pasta - firm yet flexible, substantial yet adaptable. Our investment thesis is built on three core principles that guide every decision we make.

The Stick Test

Just as Italian grandmothers test pasta by throwing it at the wall, we evaluate startups based on their ability to stick.

  • Strong product-market fit
  • Resilient founding team
  • Scalable business model

The Sauce Factor

No pasta is complete without the right sauce. We look for startups that have:

  • Secret ingredients
  • Perfect pairing potential
  • Recipe for growth

Full Course Meal

We invest in companies that can deliver a complete experience:

  • Appetizing entry point
  • Satisfying main course
  • Room for dessert

Investment Criteria

Stage

Pre-seed to Series A (we like our pasta fresh)

Check Size

$500K - $5M (enough sauce to make it stick)

Sectors

Food Tech, SaaS, AI, Web3, and "Wait, that's actually genius"

Geography

Global (good pasta knows no borders)

What We Don't Fund

  • Overcooked ideas (me-too products with no differentiation)
  • Raw concepts (no MVP or customer validation)
  • Broken spaghetti (fractured teams or toxic culture)
  • Gluten-free blockchain (unless it's really, really good)

Ready to Stick?

If your startup aligns with our thesis and you're ready to be thrown at the wall, we want to hear from you.
