Who we are
Ventura Capital was founded in 2012 to provide investors with exposure to tier one technology companies founded by exceptional teams that have a credible plan to IPO in 2-4 years.
Ventura focuses on quality, IRR and the alignment of incentives.
Ventura’s team culture is proactive – we create and lead our investment opportunities. We focus on the credibility of the growth plan, management’s ability to execute and valuation.
At the growth stage we invest post technical and commercial proof points to back scaling executers offering an attractive risk reward profile.
Through its global network and proven technology sector expertise, the firm is able to source and invest in exclusive private companies on a clear trajectory to IPO.
To date, the firm has deployed over $1 billion and invested in leading growth stage companies such as Allica Bank, Tekever, Upgrade, Zilch, Coursera, Spotify, Delos, Xiaomi, Twitter, Nextdoor, Alibaba, Lookout Mobile Security, Auto1, Uber and Lyft.
The firm routinely assists portfolio companies to drive revenue growth and prepare for IPO, while maintaining an arms-length distance from the operational authority of management teams.
Ventura has generated industry-beating realised returns and built a strong reputation for accessing top performing assets.
