Catamount Ventures

Founded in 2000 by Jed Smith, Catamount Ventures worked with passionate entrepreneurs to help them build thriving companies. Our common goal was to generate enduring value and outstanding returns for our investors. And our commitment to our entrepreneurs ran deep. We didn’t just invest our capital; we were there for every twist and turn, offering sage advice and meaningful connections so they were able to change the world through disruptive products and services. Catamount was a hands-on partner that invested in markets we knew and loved: education, healthy living, and sustainability. We found that the more authentic the mission, the more customers are related to the product, the more they repeat purchase, and the more the company thrives. Our world-class entrepreneurs excelled by attracting top executive talent, leading value-add investors, and outstanding partners.
