OUR
VALUES

We communicate with candor, operate with integrity, and demonstrate pragmatism

We think independently, act boldly, and look for non-obvious opportunity

We show empathy for others, cultivate equanimity, and balance our whole selves across work and play

We seek growth, learn from our failure, and welcome the future

We invite diverse perspectives, strive for equity, and embrace inclusivity
These values live at the core of everything we do, and our companies' values follow suit.
Born out of a love for building startups and a passion for backing entrepreneurs with heart, Corazon Capital (Spanish for “heart”), a Chicago-based venture fund, brings a coastal approach to Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A investing. When you start with heart, there’s no such thing as “too early.”
With a rare blend of investing experience and operating expertise, Corazon Capital provides pragmatic, actionable counsel and trusted relationships to the entrepreneurs it supports. Corazon Capital believes that the best entrepreneurs and the smartest VCs will intentionally solicit both financial and operating investors in their syndicates, with Corazon Capital recognized across geographies for its deep operating knowledge and reach inside and outside of Chicago.
