§ Venture Capital · Chico, CA, USA
Northern California Investment Fund LLC operates as a seed-stage, angel-funded venture fund, specializing in early-stage startup investments. The firm employs a syndicated investment approach, pooling capital from diverse angel investors for crucial initial funding. This strategy facilitates diversified portfolios and shared expertise, targeting high-potential ventures during their foundational development.
General Partner Bob Bozeman, a veteran Silicon Valley investor, leads the fund. Active since at least 2013, the firm was established based on the insight that collaborative angel funding effectively de-risks and accelerates the growth of promising startups.
