Madrona Venture Group

About Madrona Venture Group

Madrona is a seed-, early-, and acceleration-stage investor and partner for founders, investing for over 30 years in machine learning, AI, marketplaces, infra, DevOps, and biotech startups. We bring more than capital. We invest in a team and their vision from day one for the long run. We roll up our sleeves and work alongside you, providing the team, strategy, and experience to help founders build lasting and significant companies. How We Invest Incubation to Seed Whether we are helping founders ideate, test, and launch companies or making that first seed investment, we look for founders who care deeply about why a problem exists and who have the passion and skill to be the foundation of a company and product that will solve that problem and positively change the world. Early These early partnerships anchored in shared trust, strong alignment, and a commitment to rolling up our sleeves and investing time and capital to build great, lasting companies. We help founding teams establish product vision and execution in line with the customer pain point. The sales team starts to grow as the company dials in product-market fit. Accelerate We actively invest and partner for the long run and are trusted advisers as companies scale. Our Acceleration Funds expand our ability to work with entrepreneurs building applied AI companies primarily in the U.S. as they move from product-market fit to accelerating business growth. Once you have found early product-market fit, we can help you see around corners and build a company from early growth to a successful outcome.
