💥75 portfolio companies across fintech, supply chain, and the future of work
⚡5 exits and top-quartile TVPI for both Fund Zero and Fund I
🎓50+ students graduated across 10 undergraduate engineering and 10 leading MBA programs through Collide Campus

Thank you to Andrew, Collide Capital, Dingman-Lamone Center for Entrepreneurship, Robert H. Smith School of Business, and everyone who joined us for the conversation!

Meet our Portfolio 👋🏾 | #CollideOnPurpose

Running restaurants at scale means managing dozens of vendors, sites, and service calls — with little visibility and even less consistency.

Prefix is changing that.

Prefix replaces that entire chain with one platform — connecting multi-site operators directly to vetted local technicians, with agentic AI handling the admin work in between.

Faster. Cheaper. No excessive markups.

CEO & Founder: Jared Schwartzentuber

This work is bigger than us.

Last week we announced Fund II. This is the heart behind it — from our founders Aaron and Brian on where Collide started, what we've built, and what we believe about who should be directing capital in tech.

Let's get to work. 🙏🏾

Collide is back on campus with our Spring 2026 cohort! 📚

Our scouts are the eyes and ears of early-stage innovation. They don’t just learn venture — they do it. Sourcing, diligencing, and pitching companies directly to our investment team.

We couldn’t be more excited about this group.

Big congrats to our co-founders Brian and Aaron, who were named to the 2026 Power100 Asset Managers list by Blueprint Capital Advisors.

The list highlights leaders across venture capital and private markets who are helping shape the future of institutional investing.

At Collide, we focus on backing exceptional founders and helping them navigate the institutional capital journey with the right networks, insights, and support along the way.

🎉 Honored to see this work recognized alongside so many friends and peers across the industry.

Big team news. 🎉

Congratulations to Elias Mufarech on his promotion to Principal, and Lauren Dupont on her promotion to SVP, Operations.

Elias joined as an MBA Fellow in 2023 and has since become a cornerstone of our investment team — sourcing deals, expanding Collide Campus, and showing up for our founders every step of the way.

Lauren has been the operational force behind our firm’s growth since day one — scaling our team, building our back office, and laying the foundation for what comes next.

We’re proud to recognize Lauren and Elias for their leadership, growth, and ongoing impact at Collide Capital as we guide founders on their institutional capital journey and equip them with the resources, knowledge networks, and hands-on operational support needed for a successful exit.
