Dace Ventures

Dace Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm with over $70 million in funds under management. We are putting our experience to work by actively investing in passionate entrepreneurs who can build great teams, products, and business models to take advantage of transformational forces in the Next Wave. We are entrepreneurs just like our portfolio teams, focused on building companies with compelling innovation and first-mover advantage in high-potential consumer-driven markets. We welcome rolling up our sleeves to work with both first-time and serial entrepreneurs to identify and capture market opportunities. Nothing is “too early” in our view, nor “too small” of a fundraise. What matters is that you are visionary with a BIG idea. Dace Ventures’ team seeks to invest with entrepreneurs who share our focus on digital media, consumer marketing, and mobile services. Dace looks for companies with compelling innovation, first-mover advantages, and an opportunity for our partnership to add value at key inflection points of growth. We seek to understand your vision, your BIG idea. We know that great teams and vision create success. We will openly work with both first-time and serial entrepreneurs to share insights and contacts at a seed stage to strengthen plans. In growth stages, we seek to apply our operating experience and networks to improve execution and spur business development. We have aligned our fund strategy and team strengths to enable Dace to become the ideal investor for early-stage companies with capital-efficient business models. We have no minimum funding size, though we generally invest from $250,000 to $3 million in an initial financing, with substantial reserves for follow-ons. We seek to work with passionate entrepreneurs who can build great teams to take best advantage of transformational forces in the Next Wave.
