About Austin Ventures

Austin Ventures (“AV”) has worked with talented entrepreneurs to build valuable companies for over 30 years. With $3.9 billion of capital raised, AV is one of the most established venture capital firms in the nation. AV invests in early-stage and middle-market companies, and its strategy is to partner with talented executives and entrepreneurs to build industry-leading companies predominantly in Texas. Our investment team typically becomes involved early in a company’s development. Many of our initial investments occur prior to product availability. Our investments typically range in size from $500,000 proof-of-concept projects and seed financings to $40 million venture growth rounds. We maintain a hands-on approach, a rigorous investment process, and a steadfast commitment to our portfolio companies. Time and time again, we have seen that promising entrepreneurs need more than financial backing to succeed. We pride ourselves on our ability to foster growth at all stages in the start-up company development cycle. Austin Ventures provides emerging and expansion-stage technology companies with a long-term investment approach, a proven ability to build value in the early stages, and access to an unparalleled network of executives, capital sources, and technology professionals. Although we invest at all phases of a company’s life, much of our investment activity occurs at the early stages, and certainly no investment opportunity is “too early” for our consideration.
