Armory Square Ventures

Armory Square Ventures is a venture capital firm based in Upstate New York and NYC. We often provide the first round of institutional capital for companies targeting the largest industries across New York State and select emerging cities across the Northeast and Midwest. We are actively involved in all aspects of company growth—from recruiting senior talent, customers, and co-investors to providing general management support. We launched our firm in 2014 and consider ourselves fortunate to be backed by the region’s most respected institutions, corporations and foundations. Our entrepreneurs tend to be as passionate as our community is about building companies that support and grow their own towns and geographies. We back founders reimagining old-line industries with B2B software. Our founders bring more than just grit, determination, and competitive drive (though they have that in spades). They thrive by leveraging deep domain expertise, proprietary data, and critical partnerships that compound into durable advantages. Far from fitting a single profile, our founders come from a wide range of industries and bring diverse skillsets, insights, and backgrounds to the table. Building great companies takes a village, and our founders balance their rosters with technical wizzes, product ninjas, and GTM gurus.
