While many investors<\/span> say sheltering in place has broadened their appetite<\/a> for funding companies located outside major hubs, one firm is doubling down on backing startups in America\u2019s heartland.<\/p>\n

Launched in 2016 by Brett Brohl<\/a>, The Syndicate Fund rebranded to Bread Butter Ventures<\/a> earlier this month (a reference to one of Minnesota\u2019s many nicknames). Along with the rebrand, longtime Google executive and Revolution partner Mary Grove<\/a> joined the team as a general partner and Stephanie Rich<\/a> came aboard as head of platform.<\/p>\n

The growth of the Twin Cities\u2019 startup ecosystem is precisely why The Syndicate Fund rebranded. The firm, which has $10 million in assets under management, will invest in three of Minneapolis\u2019 biggest strengths: agriculture and food, health care and enterprise software.<\/p>\n

Agtech interest spans the entire spectrum from farming to restaurants and grocery stores. The firm is also interested in the \u201cmessy middle\u201d of supply chain and logistics around food, said Brohl and is interested in a mix of software, hardware and biosciences. Within health care, the firm evaluates solutions focused on prevention versus treatment, female health startups working on maternal health and fertility and software focused on the aging population and millennials.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also looking at enterprise software that can serve large businesses and scale efficiently.<\/p>\n
