    • 199. New Stack Ventures: Nate Pierotti on Pre-Seed Investing in the Midwest

      Nate Pierotti is a Partner at New Stack Ventures, a Chicago-based VC firm focused on early stage capital. New Stack typically leads rounds at the angel, pre-seed, or seed stage and invests between $500k and $1.5M into startups that are pre-revenue, in pilots, or early commercialization. Our conversation with Nate covers how New Stack seeks to fund “outsiders” that break the mold of traditional founders, how investment decisions are made at the pre-seed stage, and the different dynamics of the VC industry that influence how capital is allocated.
