About iSelect Fund
iSelect Fund is a St. Louis-based venture firm investing in early- to growth-stage companies across food and agriculture, healthcare, and resource efficiency, with a thesis around sectors that address fundamental human needs and have meaningful US Midwestern angles. The fund writes checks generally in the $500K to $5M range across seed through Series B, can lead small rounds, and reserves capital for follow-on. Healthcare exposure is meaningful and includes digital health, devices, and diagnostics, often with a connection to the St. Louis biomedical ecosystem including BioSTL, Washington University, and Cortex. AI focus is welcome where it sits inside a defensible healthcare or agriculture product. Founders best suited are seed and Series A CEOs in healthcare or food and ag who have or are building meaningful presence in the US Midwest, particularly the St. Louis region, and would benefit from a regionally-connected investor with strong relationships to corporate strategics in those sectors. Founders who do not fit include coastal pre-product startups with no Midwest connection, therapeutics-only biotech requiring large rounds, and growth-stage companies needing $10M-plus checks. Geographic preference is US with a Midwest bias. The entry path is warm introduction through a St. Louis-area operator, a BioSTL contact, or a portfolio CEO. LinkedIn outreach to a partner with a clear regional commitment and metric-led summary is a reasonable secondary option. Expect a hands-on, regionally-focused investor with strong corporate strategic relationships.
