SixThirty (SixThirty Ventures, LLC) is a global early-stage venture capital firm headquartered in St. Louis, MO, USA, that invests in startups operating at the intersection of FinTech, InsurTech, digital health, privacy/security, and enterprise technology — pairing founders with corporate LPs and incumbents to accelerate go-to-market and strategic growth. 

Specific Funding Stage
Pre-Seed / Seed: Core focus — SixThirty backs earlier institutional rounds, typically where companies have product/market fit or early revenue and need strategic capital.
Series A & Early Growth: Participates up through early growth and Series A/B rounds depending on company trajectory. 

Investment Amount and Percentage Equity (Company-Level)
Typical Investment Size: Generally in the $100,000 – $250,000 range per company on the earlier side of rounds, though total participation can be higher when co-investing with partners; some databases indicate checks may range up to ~$500K or more depending on stage and co-investors. 

Equity Taken:
• SixThirty does not publish a fixed equity percentage it takes across all investments — equity is negotiated per deal based on valuation, total round size, and the company’s stage (common practice for institutional VC firms).
• Historical accelerator/cohort programs and industry sources suggest equity positions negotiated with portfolio startups often fall in the ~5%–10% range for the firm’s participation, but this is not a hard public requirement and varies by company and round (inferred from past cohort terms and typical early institutional behavior).
• As an institutional VC, when SixThirty leads or co-leads seed/early rounds, founders should expect meaningful minority ownership — typical ranges in the ~5%–15% band for individual institutional investors writing early checks — with total dilution across all seed investors usually landing in ~10%–25% of the company’s equity. (This reflects general early institutional norms applied to SixThirty’s check sizes; exact percentages are always deal-specific and negotiated.)

Equity Structure: Standard priced preferred equity or equivalent early institutional instruments like SAFEs/convertibles depending on round terms and founder preference.
Governance: With meaningful minority stakes, SixThirty may negotiate board or observer rights in deals where it leads or is closely aligned.
Submission Method: Startups can reach out via SixThirty’s website or through ecosystem introductions; direct outreach to the team or warm intros via co-investors and corporate LP partners can help spark conversations. 
SixThirty’s model emphasizes matchmaking with corporate partners in financial services, insurance, and health markets to build strategic relationships alongside capital.
