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.
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.
