4490 Ventures

We are investors, founders, and operators who bring capital, company-building experience, and a network of resources to help entrepreneurs build the next great tech companies. We team with bold entrepreneurs who want to change the future. They aren’t afraid to think big. They’re passionate about groundbreaking ideas that challenge the status quo to disrupt legacy markets, categories, and industries. We’re growth facilitators. Network enablers. Opportunity expanders. We look for opportunities to invest early in the company’s life cycle, where we can help entrepreneurs shape the company’s strategy, team composition and trajectory. Many of the great next-generation tech companies won’t be — and shouldn’t be — built in the traditional large tech hubs of today. They will be built closer to where industry expertise and end customers are. Focusing our tech company startup funding outside of Silicon Valley gives us greater capital efficiency and impact potential.
