founders welcome
At Conductive, we are unconstrained by convention. We back unconventional, often-overlooked founders, building capital efficient companies in diverse geographies. We are patient and committed investors who put our founders first. We bring a team approach, working hand-in-hand to help drive game-changing outcomes.
While there may be plenty of capital partners, finding the right partner is what makes all the difference in the world. When we were looking to raise our Series B round of financing, we came away impressed with how Conductive Ventures partners with entrepreneurs in order to realize their vision. The firm goes beyond simply being a capital partner by providing strategic guidance and being a value added partner.
We are thrilled to have the support of Conductive Ventures as we continue to grow and innovate. The team spent a lot of time with us to understand the business, and since we have started working with them, they have continued to be thoughtful and hands on partners. We could not ask for better investors by our side as we accelerate our mission and revolutionize the venue-sourcing process for event professionals around the globe.
It was important for us to partner with the right person at the right firm who understood what we do and enable us to realize our vision. We’ve found our values aligned well with Conductive Ventures especially when it came to growing and scaling our company in a capital efficient way. We’ve really enjoyed our interactions and value their expertise in company building.
How we invest
We invest early (mostly Series A and Series B) in emerging category leaders who are at an inflection point in their company’s growth. We have a bias towards companies that have demonstrated early efficient growth, meaning they have been able to scale while being lightly financed. We are generalist investors who invest across categories including in software, hardware and tech-enabled services. We’re particularly focused on companies transforming industries from analog to digital, and from digital to intelligent.
