SaaS Ventures
We are enterprise software experts. We look to co-invest with strong leads, bringing our network of coinvestors and next round investors as well as enterprise software expertise to add value. We see ourselves as partners who can fill out a round quickly and be a positive influence, and non-competitive as we don’t lead or take significant stakes in our portfolio companies. We generally write a small check into rounds of $750k-$3M that are mostly full, being low pain-in-the-ass to entrepreneurs compared to relatively high value add. Having been entrepreneurs, we know that’s the most important part. While we’ll invest anywhere in the US, we love “second tier markets” that can still support major exits but attract relatively less venture funding: Chicago, Toronto, DC, Baltimore, Atlanta, etc etc!

ValueStream Ventures
At ValueStream Ventures, we are a thesis-driven, early-stage fund based in NYC and focused on investing in B2B platforms built around high-value data. We gravitate towards investments in B2B software, data/analytics, and fintech. Our thesis is a combination of opportunity and stage. High-value data, and its infrastructure, creates defensible companies with lower costs of scaling. We typically invest in the “early growth” stage of a company – when there is some revenue and signs of product/market fit, but it is not yet a consensus bet. We like this stage because we excel at driving momentum through targeted BD support, crafting platform strategies powered by core data assets, and preparing a company for growth financing. Our hands-on GPs have a unique ability to identify, underwrite, and support businesses built around high-value data. Our team’s experience – working together in this space since 2013 – brings differentiated insights into how data can be leveraged to create value. Entrepreneurs and investors who partner with us find that we hustle, we dig deep, and we make rounds happen.

42 Ventures
42 ventures was founded in 2006 by Ned Stringham, an experienced business builder, internet expert and growth company investor. 42v takes a unique approach that is unlike traditional venture firms, angel investors or private equity groups. Everyone involved with 42v has started and grown their own business which means they know what it takes to win. And since the investment capital comes from Ned, his team, and a tight circle of advisors, they are true partner in building the business. For some companies that simply need capital, 42v is not a fit, but when entrepreneurs desire a partner that can help make the business grow, this model really works. 42v invests between $250,000 and $1.5 million in a typical deal. There is no time frame on exit, nor is there a fixed structure for investing. The firm maintains an evergreen fund of capital meaning that the team having enough time to support a new portfolio company is the primary constraint, not money. They like companies that already have products and customers and seek out businesses with well defined markets generally focused on a specific industry or specialized function.
