What makes Break the Wheel unique
Our OKRs are impact and investor ROI. With these as our guiding principles we can look at companies that VC would avoid - and structure terms other investors and crowdfunding portals can't.
Highly Selective
Our focus is the outcome. Failed companies can’t impact healthcare or climate change and failed investments lose your trust. We do more than just a market SWOT, we spend time with founders to see how they execute, and manage people and money.
Operational Muscle
We assembled a team of seasoned operators with diverse experiences, networks and backgrounds - as well as tactical teams to fill critical gaps on product, marketing, advertising and sales. We leverage our experts and portal to drive escape velocity scale.
Impact x ROI
Impact for people, ROI for Investors. By having equal weighted OKRs (objectives and key results) our investment thesis changes from companies that need $500 million to scale to women, black, hispanic or vet owned companies that can generate $500 million in revenue with our growth operations support.
01
Get Approved
Applying for an account takes 1 minute. Under the new Jobs Act anyone can invest up to $2,200 per year in companies they believe in. This approval process is mostly to make sure we have you set up for proper investment tracking and payout for liquidity events or dividends.
02
Analyze & Invest
Review investment opportunity documents. Jump on sector and company analysis calls. Join private social groups or calls for information on company OKRs. Ask questions of each company (We track the responses as part of our ongoing due diligence).
