Brown and White Ventures welcomed Anthony Mamombe, a University of New Haven student, to its Winter 2026 internship program. Mamombe is an honors Banking and Finance student at New Haven who says he's motivated by curiosity about how great founders turn ideas into scalable businesses. "I am driven by `how to make a dollar out of 15 cents. I enjoy digging into markets, stress-testing assumptions, and using data to support strong investment decisions," Mamombe said. Mamombe has worked as a Customer Experience Leader at CABS Bank, where he led a cross-functional initiative that exceeded sales targets by over 50% year-to-date and generated. He leveraged data-driven decision-making and relationship management to successfully expand the bank’s private client portfolio. He previously managed more than 300 client accounts and performed financial analysis at the bank, where he also aligned investment strategies for clients. Mamombe says he looks forward to adding value through intensive analysis of current and prospective fund portfolio companies and prospects. "I’m excited to join Brown and White Ventures because of its hands-on, founder-first approach," Mamombe said.

Portfolio company wellconnected and its revolutionary platform, allco, deliver collaborative community care, all in one place. allco's intuitive tools help companies manage everything from intake assessments to referrals to Cross Agency Partnerships. For the first time, wellconnected is creating longitudinal shared records for individuals to better manage their care. "Think of allco as a blend of a specialized CRM, an ERP, and an electronic health record," founder Duane Conners said. "It's also built with best practices and industry leading compliance and security." Conners calls allco easy to implement, intuitive to use, automatically secure, and very customizable. It frees agencies from needing their own engineers or high-priced consultants. With allco, all programs are supported with a full toolkit to drive mission and support their communities. Clients receive centralized and aggregated reporting across all those programs using the platform, providing insight into milestones, referral activity, and needs that are identified. Each of those programs can also collaborate like never before with cross-agency case management and even integrate or support healthcare initiatives.

2025 marked a foundational year for Brown and White Ventures. It was our first full year of active capital deployment, portfolio construction, and platform building—and an important step in establishing the disciplined, founder-first investment approach that defines our firm. As an early-stage venture fund, our work in 2025 focused on backing companies at critical inflection points: where strong teams, real problems, and applied technology intersect. We entered 2026 with a diversified portfolio, early validation across multiple companies, and a clear plan for responsible growth. Fund Snapshot Capital raised to date: $2.4 million Capital deployed in 2025: $1.1 million Active portfolio companies: Six Investment focus: Applied AI, healthcare-enabling technologies, clean and industrial tech, logistics, and infrastructure software Our strategy emphasizes capital efficiency, and early signals of commercial validation. While we maintain a strong connection to Upstate and Western New York, our investments span geographies and markets where innovation is driving real-world impact. 2025 Portfolio Highlights In 2025, we deployed capital across five portfolio companies, each addressing meaningful challenges in their respective sectors: KAV – Developing next-generation construction safety equipment. In 2025, KAV secured a paid pilot with a major construction company, signaling early enterprise demand. Counsel Stack – An AI-powered legal research and operations platform recognized publicly for strong performance in legal AI benchmarking. Hello Package – A logistics and proptech platform supporting package management and last-mile delivery for multifamily and student housing communities, with continued market expansion throughout the year. wellconnected – A social care infrastructure platform enabling coordination among community-based organizations, health systems, and partners, supported by team expansion as networks scaled. miRecule – A biotechnology company advancing RNA-based therapeutics using large-scale genomic data to inform drug discovery. We also announced a conditional commitment to Paradigm Emissions Technologies, a clean-tech company focused on reducing diesel emissions. This commitment is contingent on the company’s broader fundraising and reflects our disciplined approach to deployment. A Disciplined Approach to Early-Stage Risk Early-stage investing carries inherent risk, and we approach that reality with transparency and structure. Our strategy emphasizes: Small initial checks with milestone-based follow-ons Diversification across sectors and stages Active engagement with founders to support execution and governance Reserves held intentionally for companies demonstrating traction and scalability This framework allows us to balance conviction with capital discipline while supporting founders through critical stages of growth. Looking Ahead to 2026 As we enter 2026, Brown and White Ventures is positioned to build on the foundation established in our first deployment year. Our priorities include: Supporting portfolio companies through commercialization and early scale Deploying follow-on capital selectively where validation warrants Making a limited number of new investments aligned with our core themes Continuing to engage with founders, partners, and the broader innovation ecosystem We believe the strongest early-stage funds are built deliberately—with patience, discipline, and a long-term view. 2025 was an important first step in that journey. We’re grateful to the founders, partners, and investors who trusted us during this formative year, and we look forward to sharing continued progress in the year ahead.
