ABS Ventures

ABS Ventures is a venture capital firm that employs both primary and secondary direct investing strategies for mid-stage technology companies. Utilizing our extensive experience and hybrid investment approach, we help companies overcome the common challenges of complex capital structures, limited financial resources, and misaligned investors. We have a 25-year history of partnering with exceptional management teams to achieve successful exits under a variety of economic conditions. Capitalizing on decades of experience, the ABS Ventures team brings competence in understanding the patterns of capital-efficient growth and the ability to project the dynamics of emerging markets into every investment. We are active investors and manage our portfolio relationships through board representation. Traditional venture capital firms invest in growth-oriented businesses and typically remain active post-investment. Secondary buyout firms tend to have a complex approach to structuring transactions when purchasing interests in private companies, but limit direct involvement with their portfolio companies. ABS Ventures has combined the best elements from both strategies to pursue special situation transactions among solid mid-stage companies with good growth potential. We have a deep understanding of the technologies we invest in, and employ active post-investment management techniques similar to an early-stage venture investor.
