- De-Risked. We Eliminate THE RISK
AOE BAM Fund's thesis is to fund Only Strong Christian Founders
AOE BAM Fund is a brazenly Christian fund & the BAM (Business As Mission) concept is a Christian concept for business as a mission 'kingdom building' using for-profit enterprise to achieve good in the world. The investments may or may not also include 'social-enterprise' models or "impact" models, though we feel that funding Christian founders in the emerging market peaceful culture nations is all of: Mission, socent, impact, and positive change as well as solidifying accountability, transparency, the highest in human ethics in business & lifestyle including family, community spirit for positive influence on others, positive influence on society, for leaving lasting pro-human institutions that are inherently anti-corruption, pro-family, pro-future and will make the biggest lasting impact for generations to come in the world.
AOE BAMfund is the ONLY Legitimate Christian Venture Capital fund in the history of the world to date. While we are open for anyone to join, contribute, invest, study, share, help, and support, our investment thesis & target is to fund the Christian founders & innovators. We will not be funding non-Christians, due not only the fact that no one else in the world is doing it, not only that many VCs are completely against such & many cultural centers like siliCON valley, New york, Isreal, London, Melbourne, China, the Middle East, and others are wildly discriminatory against them, but also because we know that it's the right thing to do.
Out of 24,000 worldwide VC funds that have funded more than 55,000 startups, there isn't even one like this anywhere in the entire world that prioritizes Christian solo founders in BAM missions as actual startups. To be Christian apologetics, if anyone could even ever be upset about this, that out of 24,000 others, we would make the very first and only one actually for Christians for the very first time, remember that you are generally campaigning for "diversity & inclusion". Wouldn't it be beyond time to actually include the Christians & their incredibly high levels of values, morality, family values, & business ethics into the venture capital startup funding after 50 years of the startup funding industry? Why not have God actually involved in the business' success, and over shoulders of the founders & mission? The non-Christian founders looking for funding here will be happy to know that the 24,000 other VC funds await them and wont' discriminate against them for not being a Christian. If you want to contribute to the AOE BAM Fund & "get into VC" and support our thesis and ethos, then by all means, join with us to make a better world, network with us and our founders & associates & let's improve the state of the world!

While there are a mere 3-4 Venture Capital funds that Claim to be "Christian venture capital funds" they really are not. Venture Capital is supposed to be inherently funding early stage startups from ground zero. "Actual Startups" and "The startup business model" and thus venture capital into them, means not "already built", not "already in profit", not "already $40,000 a month! in revenues" not "Must have MVP!" but are ACTUAL REAL startups, which are "business plan meets investment capital" at the very beginning before it was built all without any of the investor's money at all first, and for the very first check to cover the costs to build the startup from ground up zero to fully running profitable 'franchise' in one check, or a significant milestone of this that will secure further funding raises. No investor should even care if the startup isn't registered at all as an example. We sure don't because we are REAL, VENTURE investors not fakes.Registrations and paperwork are minor administrative details as example, they aren't THE BUSINESS. It's the BUSINESS we are funding, and that is never a piece of paper, it's never a deck, it's not a website, it's the founder, it's not what has been constructed already so far, (though the more the better of course) it's their ability and the actual merits of THE ACTUAL BUSINESS. VC and investors that don't get this should get the heck out of this business and industry and hand the money back to where they inappropriately took it from. We are happy to take it off your hands and overperform for you instead, since you don't know how to do this the right way. Contact us to begin, and relieve yourself of the great responsibility that was misplaced into your hands as fulfilling the mandate for your investors even via being a fund of funds into ours. We are more than happy to make you a top tier fund in performance in all categories by doing it the right way that it was supposed to be done. First check, early stage, actual real startup venture investing, to VALUES based founders in valuable life-missions of service to humanity, in the most secure models that humanity actually always desperately needed, not vaporizing capital, in MERIT based businesses. Welcome, Humanity Always Deserved It.
The "Christian" VCs in name only so far that we have found, are: One late stage PE fund claiming to be a VC, which we like, however, that demands 42k/m in revenues minimum before they touch it. That's not a startup, it's a scale-up. It's late stage, most likely already profitable by then and don't need them at all any more. They can get loans then and the capital is merely a commodity at that stage. Experienced founders don't need you any more. That's NOT "startup investing." VCs, if you are doing this, Change your name to PE or hand the money back, there is zero "venture" in your capital. (though this fund company does everything from this post-success scale up all the way through IPO, so, it's still valuable for some founders for some purposes & build designs.). The next "Christian VC" is 1+ MILLION in ARR, 83k a month, and has never done a deal, though claims to have, but lists none and avoids conversation about who and doesn't promote them at all which of course rings alarm bells red sirens and red flags & whistles, It's likely fake. They charge $3,500 just to join their incubator & they won't fund you. Their traffic claims don't measure up either. We like their sermons mixed into their meetings, but this is only some of what Christian Founders need, they are falling short of their true responsibility. The 3rd one charges $10,000 for their incubator. They've done deals, but it's not openly disclosed, 3.5 Million each on average of 261 deals but there is no way to know who or what, nor what the LP mandate is. You also have to travel to them for months of classes, twice, all at your own expense, likely to cost $50,000 or more, so, if you are already rich then this is for you, but for the 99.9997% of founders who aren't, and who will never get a deal in their lives, these guys won't help you, nor us. The 4th one is first check, but doesn't place any value whatsoever on funding Christians with any level of priority, is fine not funding any of them at all, and only funds in Vietnam, and also doesn't at all recognize the needs of humanity and the 4 Billion who need it the most. It's not even a pleep of importance to them at all, they couldn't care less. If you literally made the holy grail of energy as a Christian, in Cambodia, they would do nothing. That's NOT "Christian" at all. The other 3 don't care either. They only care about their mandate. That's not Christian. It's inhuman. We are the response.
Outside of the Christian sphere, The financial crime & cybercrime & fraud in startups industries has grown to more than 15 Trillion a year in economic losses, waste, fraud, abuse & absolute destruction each and every year. This is done almost exclusively by coders, non-Christians, by the silicon valleys of the world & the establishment self-worshippers. It's not done by every day electricians, plumbers, mechanics, natural health doctors, blue collar innovators, firemen, oil rig workers, construction workers, electrical linesmen, local financial planners, pastors, and especially not the Christians, the missionaries. Including the DevOrg-Gov-IntelAgency-Establishment-Science & startup exploitation industries, it's more than 20 Trillion a year frauded, GONE. 1/5th of the entire world's economic activity is being stolen & destroyed from the world by these people directly. No one is facing it. It's way more than enough to feed, clothe, house, develop, and build everything the world ever needed for everyone. The difference is VALUES. It's Character. It's Culture. The main risk in startups is the founder. It's their belief system, their choice of who they emulate in their minds and what and who they live for and how and what drives them fundamentally in their heart and life. This is why our fund will be the first and only Christian Plan-Stage Startup fund, in the entire world. Eliminating THE RISK for investors means choosing devoutly Christian founders, and especially not those just in name only. We want God looking over their shoulder and in every decision. We want God, on their team, and ours. We want God, in control. We want Jesus and those like them in their thoughts and prayers. We want VALUES, dignity, honorability, the highest of ethical frameworks. We want the servant's heart, the Champions' mind, the compassion and care for all of humanity not just the few elites. We all deserved it. Total honesty, accountability, transparency, up front openness, the right purpose. Not bimbos and lambos ethos, but Jesus' Ethos. No more LIES. No more FAKE businesses. No more FAKE claims. No more FAKE "science". No more FAKE "intelligence" FAKE "media" and FAKE "experts". We want "Change The World." Like Jesus meant it.
We will get to know these founders, their families, their lives, their histories. We won't fund your average siliCON slimeball. We want to fund those living pure lives with pure hearts minds and intentions to live an honorable clean exemplary upstanding family life & be an example to their communities and the world. No one is perfect, and humans aren't always heros, but we aim to fund "good people" which all VC generally state "good people is NOT one of our investment criterion." This is a failure of humanity. Supporting Good people and great values is the Ultimate return for all of us and provides the biggest rewards for everyone on earth. Support Christians.
