Charmides Capital
Charmides Capital is a venture firm that co-invests with institutional investors in Indiana and the Midwest to fund early stage startups. The firm identifies business to business software as a service companies (B2B SaaS) that we believe demonstrate high growth potential. With a group of partners who possess a diverse set of backgrounds, we bring strategic value to a wide range of companies. Charmides, Plato’s uncle, was well known in 5th Century B.C.E. Athens for possessing the virtue of “sophrosyne”, which has no direct translation in English. Plato immortalized this in a dialogue between Socrates and Charmides that bears the latter’s name. The Greek word refers to a well developed consciousness of oneself and one’s legitimate duties in relation to others. It involves both a sense of dignity and self-command, along with an awareness of one’s strengths and weaknesses. We at Charmides Capital wish to emulate the virtue that Socrates’s interlocutor demonstrates in all of our actions.

SproutBox
SproutBox is an elite crew of product developers, creatives, and business experts. They invest their talent in startup companies with high growth potential in exchange for equity. Each year, SproutBox will give four hand-picked startups all the expertise, tools, and resources needed to turn their early stage ideas into a revenue-generating reality. During the fast-paced 10-month Sprout cycle, the selected startup (or Sprout) typically receives approximately $250,000 worth of services, along with just enough cash to enable entrepreneurs to stay focused on creating and marketing their product. The SproutBox approach changes the traditional venture capital model. Traditional VC models ramp up expenses and de-emphasize revenue during early stages — meaning these companies must find additional funding just to keep their doors open. In contrast, SproutBox focuses on revenue generation from day one. They provide all the development, business, and support services needed to make sure that each startup has minimal recurring expenses, a clear revenue stream, and a marketable product when they leave the SproutBox.
