Invest in the Future of Indian Country

Native entrepreneurs are driving innovation across industries. We invite investors, philanthropists, and tribal nations to shift that narrative.

WE SEEK, SEED, AND GROW NATIVE VENTURES

1st Seed Collective

The 1st Seed Collective is a cooperative of angel investors from various organizations who specialize in investing in seed to Series A startups. We utilize our experiences and community to facilitate the growth of these companies.

WE SEEK, SEED, AND GROW NATIVE VENTURES

The 1st Seed Investor Network (1SIN) is an initiative of 1st Sovereign Capital (1SVC) designed to activate, organize, and educate a community of Native and Native-ally investors. The goal is to increase early-stage capital flow into Indigenous-led companies while creating an inclusive and disciplined investment network that builds long-term wealth and sovereignty in Native communities.

Through 1SIN, members will learn by doing—investing alongside 1SVC in vetted opportunities, developing investment acumen, and supporting the next generation of Native founders.
