TruStage Ventures

TruStage Ventures is the venture capital arm of TruStage, a trusted credit union partner since 1935 providing financial products and services to more than 90% of U.S. credit unions. TruStage Ventures houses two funds: a general fund focused on strategic investments and partnerships to connect fintechs with credit unions, and the Discovery Fund, focused on early-stage investments in fintechs with traditionally underrepresented founding and leadership teams.

The Discovery Fund was created to address inequities in the financial sector by supporting and investing in underrepresented entrepreneurs who are focused on building solutions for financial inclusion. The fund invests $5 million annually in early-stage fintech companies led by BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and women founders. Investment criteria include pre-seed, seed, and series A stage funding, with investments of up to $1 million.

TruStage Ventures has invested in nearly 70 fintechs, including 19 in the Discovery Fund, and is committed to continuing to invest in fintechs that help make brighter financial futures accessible to all. The firm has made 39 investments, with notable exits including Daylight, Gabi, and CuneXus. The most recent investment was on April 14, 2025, when Arkatechture raised a new funding round.

TruStage Ventures is dedicated to fostering innovation in the financial services sector by connecting fintech companies with credit unions and other financial institutions, aiming to enhance financial inclusion and stability for all consumers.
