About LiveOak Venture Partners

After over a decade of successful early stage investing in Texas, in 2012, Krishna Srinivasan and Venu Shamapant founded LiveOak based on a conviction that Texas had all the DNA for a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem. They believed that a venture capital firm that was maniacally focused on Texas entrepreneurs could be the key catalyst to harness the full potential of this market and build category dominating companies of the future.

Today Texas is indeed a vibrant center for entrepreneurship, enabled by the combination of a strong and growing talent pool and an active early-stage investment ecosystem. LiveOak has continued to lead the way with over 60 investments just in the past decade and helped create numerous winners across many categories.

This success has convinced us to double down on our Texas entrepreneur-focused strategy and to establish the strong foundations that help develop the leaders of the future.

We are all-in on Texas, its founders and the entrepreneurial community that enables their success.
