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!

Illuminate is typically a startup’s first institutional investor, but can also be a fit for an established company seeking its first equity financing. Their sweet spot is Series Seed rounds – filling the gap between angel capital and larger funding rounds of traditional VCs. When the timing is right, they collaborate with the best large-scale firms for the next round of financing, but they love lean start-ups that preserve flexibility in their early years. With three funds under management, Illuminate has been an early investor and board member in deep technology platforms like BrightEdge Technologies (SEO market leader), SaaS applications like Xactly Corporation (NYSE: XTLY) and early market innovators like Influitive (customer advocacy).

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.
