Who We Are

Founded by principals with decades of tech investing and operating experience, Navigate Ventures is focused on early/mid growth stage capital for emerging B2B Enterprise SaaS companies outside Silicon Valley, between their Series A and Growth rounds. With offices in Los Angeles and London, Navigate looks to invest in companies with great teams, strong traction, and demonstrated product market fit, where the early venture risk is mitigated. The team is focused on helping entrepreneurs prepare for rapid growth, scaling, expansion, and getting to a growth round, offering an accelerated path to DPI and liquidity. We are sector & stage focused, value-add, founder-friendly investors. We bring significant experience, deep domain expertise, and a broad base of resources and contacts to each investment to help them get to the next level and subscribe to practice of incorporating ESG factors when evaluating investment opportunities.

Most Startups Never Make It Past Series A

Bulletpoint
Size and expectations for Growth Rounds have risen dramatically
It takes longer to achieve the required metrics to raise a Growth Round
Growth Round is the hardest to raise as the goal post has moved
Many CEOs lack the experience, time, resources or relationships to successfully raise a Growth Round
The end result is many companies with Good Teams, Product Market Fit, and Strong Unit Economics find they need more Time & Capital to be able to raise a Growth Round.
