Underscore is a VC company that supports bold entrepreneurs, from inception through scaling. It provides dynamic capital as well as an aligned network to meet each startup's needs. We started the company by conducting a listening tour and asking entrepreneurs about their business goals. We learned that the best way to make a business's trajectory change is by connecting with the right people at the right times. We created Underscore Core to support our portfolio companies by bringing together top executives and rising stars as well as domain experts. You know exactly what we mean. Every VC company has an expert network. How is yours any different? Rob Gonzalez, founder of Salsify and one of our portfolio companies, said it well: "Most of VCs just make introductions into their network. Underscore invests in Core Community advisors to make sure they are taking your help seriously. This makes all the difference. This is done through the Core Partner program. Underscore Core Partners are Core Community Members who accept to work with Underscore in sourcing or advisory of portfolio companies. Core Partners receive "Core Allocations" in return for Underscore investing in a company or serving as an advisor for portfolio companies. This is a percentage of Underscore’s earnings via our Core Fund interest grant. Core Partners receive 10% of the carry we have. Core Partners align themselves to portfolio companies' success and are 100% non-dilutive for the founders. It's easy to say: The Core Community allows founders to connect to the right people at the right times, and all this on Underscore.
