			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve always found it goofy to use the word &#8220;closed&#8221; to describe  something that finally kicked off. Nevertheless, I&#8217;ll play along with  convention this one time and note how thrilled I am to announce the  Lowercase Capital has closed its latest fund: an $8.5 million pile of loot intended exclusively for awesome startups.</p>
<p>Our investing philosophy is sprinkled <a href="http://lowercasellc.com/creed/" target="_blank">all over this site</a>, so no  sense spitting it onto this page as well. Furthermore, I will spare you the  &#8220;at the end of the day Lowercase Capital pings you so we can think out  of the box to get to a win-win while avoiding the sharp elbows and  pivoting toward opening the kimono of the 800-pound gorilla to fire up  his A-game&#8221; bullshit.</p>
<p>Nope. Instead, I just want to say how f&#8217;ing fortunate we feel to be  doing what we do for a living, and grateful for all of your help. Thanks to all of our investors who  entrusted their money to a guy who dresses like a mugged rodeo clown, and  to our fine lawyers who reassured me I could get this done without having to shave or tuck in my shirt. Most importantly,  thanks to all of the <a href="http://lowercasellc.com/posse/" target="_blank">Lowercase portfolio entrepreneurs</a>. Their energy  gets me out of bed in the morning. (Figuratively, figuratively.)</p>
<p>With all of this paperwork nonsense behind us, I can&#8217;t tell you how eager I am to get back to work. Thirteen-year  old me would have been disgusted to hear that. But, it&#8217;s true. So, if  you are working on some hot shizz that you think could use our help, <a href="http://lowercasellc.com/prospecting/" target="_blank">you  know where to hit us</a>. In the meantime, you can keep tabs on <a href="http://twitter.com/lowercase" target="_blank">Lowercase in the Tweets</a>. Also, now that I no longer need a securities lawyer&#8217;s permission before endeavoring to form complete sentences, I might even post some half-baked notions here on this blog from time to time.</p>
<p>For now, thanks to all of you,</p>
<p>Chris</p>
<p>(Did that end up being more than 140 characters? Seems close.)</p>
