Grand Ventures

We back companies building innovative B2B SaaS products. We’re always in search of entrepreneurs pursuing bold solutions to complex problems.

Since the fund’s launch in 2017, one of our guiding principles has been a desire to support entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds who often face unfair obstacles to obtaining institutional funding. Although roughly 30% of US venture funding is allocated to companies based outside of California, Boston, and NYC each year, other cities contain no shortage of capable founders.

When we began searching for talent in our own backyard, we learned that the best companies are often found where you might least expect. Silicon Valley no longer holds a monopoly over entrepreneurial talent. We know that startups thrive in commonly overlooked regions that provide access to untapped markets and lower operational costs. Our portfolio companies are based in a wide variety of fast-growing venture markets, including cities like Cincinnati, Atlanta, Grand Rapids, Salt Lake City, and Toronto, among others.
