Today we're announcing the successful raise of an additional $1b to invest in founders and teams in overlooked places.

The mindset we look for in founders? Extreme ownership. 🎙️Podcast clipped from The Dart Board with host @itsdanieldart — featuring Drive Capital founder @ChrisOlsenCMH Full conversation: https://t.co/0j8AJVX4sf

Our CTO & Co-Founder Ben Meeder chatted with @landon20s at @drivecapital & @intercom's AI Builders Day! ⚡️ Huge energy. Smart builders. Big ideas. Excited for the future we're building right here in #Chicago. 🚀

Early in my venture career @drivecapital, I wanted to make an investment in a company no one else wanted to make. My partners weren’t convinced, but I saw something: founder insight + a path to a bigger market. As an investor, you’re hired to build conviction and then trust

It sounds like @drivecapital's TAM was definitely feeling Austin. 🤠🚀🦾 (Having a bit of FOMO over here)

More tech returns now happening outside silicon valley? @drivecapital @msuster

Confirmed: the state of the city of Austin is strong #TAM25 @justindross @Jacksonfordyce @sahiti_enj

The energy IS palpable #TAM25 @anothercohen @CristinCulver @landon20s

Super fun speaking today at @drivecapital in Austin

Great event today! Fun fact: Growing up in Ohio, I had never heard of Venture Capital until @drivecapital launched in 2012. Without realizing it, @ChrisOlsenCMH & Drive altered the course of my life & many others across the Midwest thanks to their work 👏🏼

America is big. Silicon Valley is small. #TAM25

“We needed a state and a workforce that could run as fast as we wanted to run.” #TAM25

Welcome to Austin @drivecapital. Ride a self driving taxi or two; see the factories building chips, cars, & rockets; plus have some amazing brisket & breakfast tacos. 🤠🚀🦾

Today we're welcoming 150 CEOs from startups across the country and 50 VCs to Austin for TAM. The vision for TAM is to gather the best of the best from a large geography (𝐴𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎) to one city for one day. Should be fun.

Great seeing @drivecapital on the @TIME 2025 list of top venture capital firms Greatness is in our backyard

On Fri Sep 12th we’re turning the @drivecapital Chicago rooftop into an evening for founders and investors called DriveHouse: https://t.co/hRbUvEsOYB

Pre-Seed Between the Coasts ⁦@drivecapital⁩ brought together 150+ early-stage founders and investors to talk about our funding market. The panel featured 🐐’s from ⁦@MatchstickVC⁩ ⁦@CooleyLLP⁩ ⁦@cofactorai⁩ ⁦@startinglinevc⁩ and more.

When I joined @drivecapital as the first female investor at the firm, I didn’t know how to “show up.” But over time, I realized the most important thing I could bring was something I already had: my own way of seeing things. #vc #VentureCapitalist

I’m so impressed with the hundreds of side events happening next week during TechChicago Week. Decentralized meetups are an important sign of a growing startup hub. We’re hosting three of our own at @drivecapital. Read about them here: https://t.co/6VvpjgtL2W

“Ego and pride get in the way of greatness.” That was one of the powerful takeaways from yesterday’s fireside at @drivecapital with @alexathallow, CEO of @HallowApp. 🙏🏽 Alex built and scaled the world’s largest prayer app. He’s a well of wisdom and important part of Chicago.

It has taken me 29 years to be able to reflect on the impact my brother John had on my life. I am so grateful that I was able to grow up with him and witness how he lived. It seems near impossible to describe the impact his joy and strength has had on me. But I tried. Happy
