Right Side Capital Management

RSCM publishes explicit mechanical criteria rather than a general thesis. Its homepage states: "We write $150k - $300k checks into $150k - $500k round sizes." "We typically invest at $1.5M - $4M valuations in companies with $5k - $30k+ MRR." "We primarily invest in US and Canadian startups." Its FAQ states a round size of "$150K - $500K, with rare exceptions up to $1M for companies with extreme traction" and a valuation range of "$1.5M - $4M, with a soft limit of $3M. We make rare exceptions up to $6M for companies with extreme traction", adds "Typical MRR at the time of investment is $5K - $30K+. We look for companies with a revenue-generating product and paying customers", and states "RSCM invests in US and Canadian founders. We do not currently invest outside of the United States and Canada." The FAQ describes the core product requirement as proprietary engineering, typically software, AI-driven platforms, or marketplace technology, and the revenue model as subscription, high recurring transactional, or two-sided marketplace. The firm describes itself on its homepage as a "quantitative, data-driven" investor in "capital efficient tech startups" and says it usually gives a yes/no decision "in about a week". On volume, the firm's 2025 blog post states "We continue to focus on capital-efficient tech companies with revenue-generating products, investing in over 150 startups each year", and its FAQ states "RSCM has made 2,000+ investments since its founding in 2012". Numeric ranges above are reproduced with spaced hyphens in place of the dashes used on the source pages, per house style.
