Exponential, by Cox is the early-stage AI venture vehicle for Cox Enterprises. Based in Silicon Valley with an international outlook, we invest with a global perspective and a strong eye for connecting our portfolio to the breadth of the Cox family of businesses.
Founded by technologists with decades of experience leading startups and building AI/ML products, we partner with exceptional entrepreneurs and early stage companies to maximize their business potential.
What We Do
▪ Early-stage.
▪ $500k-$1m checks.
▪ Backing companies applying AI in the real world.
▪ In your code, when it matters - not just in your cap table.
How We Work
Once we invest, we join your team. In the work - technical reviews, roadmap, and hard decisions.
▪ Engineers, not generalists.
▪ ML and robotics, built at the frontier.
▪ Focused on milestones, not commentary.
When it makes sense, we earn common stock. No value, no vesting. Capital stays with you.
We help you crush the things that matter most. Together we identify the key milestones that unlock exponential growth and work hand in hand until you achieve them.
Most startups don't fail for lack of capital. They fail for lack of the right people with the right expertise.
