What Eagle Venture Fund does

Eagle Venture Fund is a privately-held impact-focused venture capital firm founded in 2017 and headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, with additional offices in Zurich and Singapore. The firm operates a multi-fund platform comprising Eagle Venture Fund IV (general early-stage), Eagle Freedom Fund I and II (anti-human-trafficking technology), Eagle City Fund (Dallas-Fort Worth regional), Eagle Ventures Asia, and Eagle Evergreen AMC. Its investment thesis, branded "Native Impact," targets companies whose revenue engine and social impact engine are structurally identical — addressing human trafficking, healthcare access for vulnerable populations, economic opportunity, and online child safety — rather than companies with overlaid ESG positioning.

Eagle's core technology is its Venture Builder Engine, which co-founds approximately 25% of portfolio companies and layers platform support including Eagle University (monthly founder training), StrategicCounsel (one-on-one advisory), FounderFormation, the Eagle Impact Alliance (nonprofit coalition building with non-dilutive grant access), and Pro-Forma financing. The firm applies a proprietary 51-criteria due diligence framework across value proposition, market, financial, operational, customer, and team dimensions. The 41+ company portfolio spans AI/safety platforms (DejaVuAI, Dark Watch, GameSafe, FRDM, MythWorx), education (Immerse, VeroSkills, UpFrom), healthcare (Patient Sortal, Wise Medicine, LivFul), and XR tools (ArborXR, Vurvey).

The firm monetizes via traditional VC management fees on committed capital from accredited investors plus performance-based carried interest, with Eagle IV targeting 20% net IRR annually and 3x-5x return of capital over a 10-year fund life. Capital is raised through direct investor engagement, an investor portal (powered by Zive.ai), faith-driven investor communities, content marketing (Eagle Insights blog, Backing the Bold podcast), and signature events (Pitch for Freedom competition, National Foster Care Innovation Challenge). Leadership includes co-founders Raimund Buhr, Wade Myers (General Partner), and Raffaele Carmine; Fund Manager/GP Wes Lyons; Partner Dr. Carl Thong (Asia); Eagle Venture Lab Asia CEO Tim Ong; and Vice President Vip Vipperman.
