"In" is correct. But it would sound better to say either "I was considering investing in the enterprise" or "I considered investing in the enterprise" so the past tense matches the past tense later in the sentence.

Hi Liz,
When “consider” is the first verb in a sentence, it’s followed by a verb in -ing form, and any preposition that follows that verb fits that second verb.
“I considered biking along the river yesterday.”
“Consider” can be followed by “for” after an object pronoun, as in “We considered him for the project manager role”, but other prepositions are possible in other contexts: “Considered by many observers to be the front runner for the endorsement, the Vice President’s early mistakes deeply hurt his candidacy.”
