The Midwest is known for small towns, manufacturing, a good soul, and many other things. Lately, its startup scene has become one of them, contributed greatly by this investor you should know! This week's findfunding.vc spotlight is on Victor Gutwein from M25. He: 💨 Is Chicago based 🍬 Started a bubblegum vending machine business in 6th grade with "margins almost like a SaaS business!" ⏩ Founded M25 in 2015 and quickly grew it to become the most active venture firm in the Midwest 🚙 Has his Uber rating on his M25 bio: 4.92 🏆 Amongst founders, Victor and his team at M25, including Mike Asem are known for working with a lot of first-time founders and putting themselves as the best VC to get them from pre-seed to A. They aren't known for 'hovering'. Rather, working with them has been called 'solicited value-add' where they are there when you need them...which can be a lot or a little. Make sure to: ✉️ Pitch him on email, LinkedIn or via M25's website 📥 If you want to work at a startup in the Midwest, check out MidwestStartups.com and reach out to M25's talent team here!

2moAs a native Midwesterner I love to see this Victor Gutwein! I can't wait to see the Midwest (and Nashville) get a greater share of the start up community!
