Floodgate pioneered the "micro-VC" model with deliberately small funds and very small initial checks, positioning themselves as one of the first firms purpose-built for pre-seed investing. The firm builds its strategy around "thunder lizards" and "pattern-breaking" startups, explicitly looking for non-consensus, inflection-driven businesses and has developed proprietary "inflection theory" and "pattern breakers" frameworks to evaluate ideas and pivots rather than just traction or markets.
