Description

Tamarisc Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm investing in innovative companies that enhance the built environment, human habitat, and related technologies — especially where real estate, health, and software/tech intersect.

Seed: Primary focus — early institutional capital, often one of the first professional VC checks.
Series A: Active participation in Series A rounds alongside larger investors.

Typical Investment Size: ~$1M–$20M per company, depending on stage and round structure (seed up to Series A).
Equity Taken:
• Tamarisc Ventures does not publish a fixed equity percentage it always takes — like most venture capital firms, the equity position is negotiated deal-by-deal based on valuation, round size, and co-investor mix (standard early VC practice).
Founder-side expectations (industry context): In seed rounds where Tamarisc leads or anchors with $1M+ checks, founders can generally expect such institutional participation to result in a meaningful minority ownership position (~7%–15%) for that firm’s portion of the cap table. The overall total dilution across all investors in a typical seed/Series A round often falls in the ~10%–25% range, with individual investor stakes proportional to their check size relative to the round. (This range reflects typical early VC norms and is not a published Tamarisc target.)
Equity Structure: Usually priced preferred equity; SAFEs/convertibles may be used in certain early rounds (common VC practice).

Submission Method: Founders can initiate contact by sending a pitch deck and company details to Tamarisc via its website or email; direct outreach or warm intros through ecosystem networks are common and helpful.
