THE MORE YOU GROW,

the more you own

In traditional venture capital, you have to give up ownership as you grow.

With BuyBack Ventures, use your profits to buy back your equity and own more of your company as you grow. Founders can own 95–98% of their company over time.

It’s a funding model built for long-term alignment and real founder control. 

YOU DESERVE TO OWN YOUR COMPANY

The Traditional VC Model is Broken

Traditional VC works for a very specific type of company. If you're building a capital-efficient or early-stage business that’s not yet profitable—and not bankable—your only options are usually friends & family or venture capital. That often means giving up control and a big chunk of the upside, and committing to a path that expects either growing fast or failing fast.

If your company ends up being worth $100M and you only own 15%, is it really yours?

how it works

Investment Amount: $50K-$500K

Expected Return: 2-5x + 2-5%

Founder Ownership: 95%-98%

We invest in bootstrapped or lightly funded companies that want capital without giving up control forever. You get capital now and a guaranteed path to own 95-98% of your business.

At any point you can buy back a majority of our equity. Once you buy back the maximum equity, we only keep 2-5% and ask for quarterly updates. You have full control.

No Collateral

No SAFEs or Notes

No Complex Waterfalls

WHY WE BUILT THIS

We are on a mission to build an alternative startup ecosystem that works for entrepreneurs building stable, profitable companies. Over the last two decades collaborating as co-investors, we have seen the opportunity to provide a type of capital that VCs don’t offer.

We have been ideating for years on ways to solve this problem and are very excited to finally bring it out in the world. The traditional VC model isn’t the only path. This is a structure built around fairness, alignment, and freedom for long-term builders.
