Hawke Deal Network
Invest in the Future of Commerce

Learn more about our exclusive network to access vetted investment opportunities from the team behind e-commerce’s most exciting success stories.

Proven Investment Expertise

The Hawke Deal Network connects individuals, family offices, and institutions with promising investment opportunities. These deals are sourced by Hawke Ventures, which manages $25M in assets across two funds and focuses on pre-seed and seed-stage investments in commerce enablement, martech, and adtech.

Hawke Ventures has a substantial advantage in that we have the ability to introduce portfolio companies to hundreds of brand customers that are clients of our partner digital marketing agency, Hawke Media. The ability to perform a deep level of diligence using this platform, along with Hawke Media being a driver of sales for our portfolio companies, has provided us with a significant "unfair advantage" when investing in companies in our target sectors. Over the last decade, Hawke Media has grown 5,000 brands and won 100+ awards, earning recognition as a top performance marketing agency.

*All SPVs we launch will first be offered to our LPs from Fund 1 and Fund 2 at a discounted rate. Any remaining allocation will then be shared with the broader Hawke Deal Network.*
Must be an "accredited investor" as defined by the SEC.

Investing in early-stage startup companies involves a high degree of risk and is not suitable for all investors. Such investments are inherently speculative and may result in the loss of your entire investment. Key risks include, but are not limited to:

  • Illiquidity: Startup investments are generally illiquid, meaning there is no easily accessible market to sell your investment, and it may take years to realize a return, if any.
  • High Failure Rate: A significant percentage of startups fail, and even those that succeed may take a long time to become profitable.
  • Valuation Uncertainty: Startup valuations are highly subjective and may not accurately reflect the company’s actual worth or future potential.
  • Limited Information: Startups may provide limited financial or operational data, making it difficult to assess their performance or prospects.
  • Dilution Risks: Additional funding rounds may dilute your ownership and reduce the value of your investment.
  • Regulatory and Market Risks: Startups often face legal, regulatory, and competitive challenges that could adversely affect their business.
