Yep. We’re not much for big splashy launches but we have quietly gone live and are making investment decisions on a rolling basis. We expect to announce the first few very soon. Please apply here or say hi and start the conversation before you’re ready to apply. Check out our FAQ with answers to common questions.

If you’re new to Earnest, we provide funding and mentorship for bootstrappers, indie hackers, and makers. We invest via a Shared Earnings Agreement, a new investing model we developed transparently with the community that aligns us with founders who want to build profitable, sustainable, calm companies.

We invest in businesses of all kinds, though we are particularly interested in SaaS, e-commerce, and scalable online education. We also occasionally put out Request for Startups briefs outlining topics we’re particularly interested in like Remote Tools for Remote Teams.
