Emerging Managers/IS Taking Smaller Checks?

Looking for emerging managers with the following characteristics. Would appreciate links dropped into the comments.

  • US/CAN focused.
  • IS or emerging manager with a few deals under their belt.
  • Unique, truly differentiated thesis. No vanilla LBO, or overpaying for SaaS etc.
  • LMM with a focus on companies doing $10M - $100M in revenue preferred. 
  • Able to take smaller checks of $100,000 - $250,000.
  • Emerging HF is fine too but I'm not sure they can really make the math work on checks under $1M.

Thank you!
