Method Capital

Method Capital is a venture capital firm based in Chicago that puts growth funding into early technology companies. It concentrates on businesses in the Midwest and works alongside their founders.

The firm argues that few venture investors in the region can lead Series A or B rounds, even though new technology companies are forming quickly in Chicago and nearby cities. It aims to fill that gap.

What Method Capital offers

• Growth funding — first investments in companies that already earn monthly recurring revenue.
• Partnership with management — a hands-on working relationship with portfolio company teams.
• Series A and B leadership — the ability to lead rounds at these stages.

Who it works with

The firm looks for companies with recurring revenue, customers who can act as references and a scalable technology platform. Its listed holdings include a procurement platform for real estate firms, a text analytics business for litigation discovery, and a marketing platform that links brands with music artists.
