Catenary Partners

Catenary Partners is an early-stage venture capital and management consulting firm that evaluates, invests, and helps guide technology-driven businesses with idea generation, start-up funding, organizational management, and tactical technology planning. We look to partner with passionate founders to help bring to life their disruptive ideas by actively fueling their innovative ideas into successful companies. Our team has extensive experience collaborating with companies in Enterprise Software, Electronic Fund Settlement, Digital and Social Media, Mobile, Robotics, and the Consumer Internet. Our operational expertise and focused network enable us to be bridge-builders, connecting entrepreneurs with the right partners to drive success. Catenary Partners specializes in leading Seed and Series A rounds in syndication with angels, venture capital firms, and strategic investors. We are active investors, management and engineering consultants, and board members – operating as an extension of the entrepreneurs’ network. Our typical investments range from $50,000 to $500,000 with additional amounts reserved for follow-on investments. Our Focus Stage Catenary Partners has a focused approach towards funding early-stage companies. Our goal is to be early, have conviction, write a meaningful check, and partner with entrepreneurs to build exceptional companies. In addition to seed rounds, we also will invest in later rounds for the right team and opportunity. We typically invest initial amounts from $50,000 to $500,000 and reserve additional amounts for follow-on investments. Sector We are focused on capital-efficient information technology companies and the disruption and reinvigoration of the service economy. Within technology, we look at five key sectors: Mobile, Enterprise and SaaS, Social, Robotics, and New Service Models. We define New Service Models as technologies that are replacing business models with large amounts of human capital, agencies or brokerages, and are able to deliver their services in a more efficient manner. Geography A key part of our strategy and focused approach is geographical differentiation. In contrast to most other early-stage venture capital firms, we invest in companies outside of Silicon Valley within the United States and internationally.
