We Back Founders,
Wherever They Build.
Stout Street is a seed-stage fund built on a simple belief: great startups can emerge from anywhere. We partner early with founders who have conviction, clarity, and the drive to build something that matters.

How We Decide
What We Stand For
Our principles shape every interaction — from first meeting to board room.
Seed Capital
We invest at the earliest stage, when conviction matters more than traction. Our capital is designed to help founders move from idea to momentum.
Shared Values
We look for alignment on how to build — with integrity, focus, and respect for the people who use what you create.
Founder Centric
Founders make the decisions. We offer perspective, network, and support — and get out of the way when we should.
Timely
We move quickly. Founders deserve a clear answer, not a prolonged process. We respect your time as much as we respect your vision.
