Our mission is to invest in and support ambitious founders that are building the next generation software companies. We invest in fast-growing Seed & Series A companies in the US and Europe that have massive scalability potential, are capital efficient and follow a product-led growth methodology.
We not only invest capital but also leverage our team of operators to help portfolio companies grow to unprecedented heights. Founded in 2017, we have raised and deployed a $52M fund and we are in the process of closing our second fund, circa of $100M. We are headquartered in Miami and have alternate offices in Madrid, San Francisco, and Sao Paulo.
We are committed to building a diverse group of portfolio companies, stakeholders, and ecosystem of partners. We genuinely believe that diversity of gender, ethnicity, race, culture, religion, and sexual orientation truly brings wealth of ideas and resources that strengthen our collective resolve – to support diverse founders building the most impactful companies.
We are also painstakingly aware that we live in a world where the best opportunities are heavily concentrated in a few postal codes, even though talent is globally distributed. We are determined to bridge this gap and provide the best entrepreneurs –regardless of location– the resources needed to elevate their businesses to extraordinary heights.
Back in 2017, we built an organization with values that reflect today’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals. We defined these values because we inherently believed that to change the world, we needed to start with ourselves. At TheVentureCity, the world’s minorities are our majority (100% female-founded company), thinking differently is the norm not the exception (who else talks about iguanacorns? ), and working to change billions of lives is our main KPI (we have no small dreams). Since the very beginning, being different and making a difference has been in our DNA.
