Early-Stage Support for
Mission-Driven Startups.

About Our Startup Engagements

Business Casual selectively invests in early-stage startups — especially those aligned with our core values and impact goals.

We’re not running a fund. We’re investing time, capital, and operational clarity into ideas worth believing in.

What We Look For:

  • Founders with purpose, grit, and humility

  • Business models focused on community or industry transformation

  • A place where we can add value — not just dollars.

Case Highlight

DML Solutions — A music-tech startup focused on fairness in royalties. We’ve helped refine their product strategy, connect with industry advisors, and build a path to growth.

What We Offer:

  • Pre-seed or bridge capital

  • Fractional ops & founder support

  • Legal and technical partnerships

  • Clear thinking during messy growth moments

Why “Business Casual”?

The name came to me while thinking about what kind of environment I want to foster. One that’s:

  • Professional but approachable

  • Grounded but forward-thinking

  • Serious about outcomes — but light in spirit

Moreover, it’s a nod to my Sri Lankan hospitality.

To the belief that deep conversations don’t always need formal settings. And to the idea that solving real problems often happens somewhere between a strategy session and a good cup of coffee.
