Startup Capital Ventures focuses on early-stage, capital efficient companies, ones that require relatively small amounts of capital to achieve success. While most venture firms have grown too large to invest as little as $250,000 to $1 million in a financing round, Startup Capital Ventures actively seeks investments in this range. Our firm leverages its investments with unparalleled operational experience from a team of five seasoned professionals. For example, we target software companies that have achieved initial revenues and can show a reasonable likelihood of reaching near-term profitability. Our approach is to build a supportive partnership around an outstanding entrepreneurial team, with a clear market vision for its product or service. We focus on investing in strong management teams, not just technologies. We strive to help build companies based on proven principals of integrity, patience and flexibility.

As experienced business executives, who have founded and run our own companies, we know firsthand the hard work and challenges of building successful companies. A hallmark of our strategy is an ability to deliver deep domain expertise to each of our portfolio companies, which also reduces investment risk for our limited partner investors. An extensive network of strategic contacts and our presence in the US and Asia can make a difference in how rapidly our companies achieve critical milestones. Also, the team's extensive experience in the financial services industry gives us a special advantage in that investment sector. We are deeply committed to supporting all of our management teams with the goal of building companies that are leaders in their industry sectors.

Our geographic focus is principally Silicon Valley along with opportunistic investments in Hawaii, Texas, and Oklahoma, where the firm has extensive investor relationships. We also invest in China, through our offices in Hong Kong and Shenzhen.
