## About Samothrace Partners

Samothrace Partners, LLC is a venture capital firm investing in early-stage companies, with a stated focus on backing diverse management teams. It operates for a multi-family office, connecting innovative business models with capital, primarily at the seed through Series A/B stages.

The firm was co-founded by Managing Partners Deb Bronston-Culp (CFA, ex-Morgan Stanley equity research), Donna Emma, and Fiona Rudin. Beyond capital, the partners offer hands-on fundraising coaching, strategic advising, and board-level involvement with portfolio founders.

Notable investments and advisory relationships include Radicle Science, Intrinio, Delectable, Groupize, Rapt Media, NMRKT, and Trendalytics, spanning fintech, consumer, and mobile/video technology. Typical checks fall in the $1M–$5M range, with the firm investing in fewer than two lead deals per year on average.

Samothrace's approach is relationship-driven and selective, targeting startups roughly 2–3 years old with founder-diversity as a core investment lens. Criteria emphasize strong management teams and business models suited to hands-on strategic mentorship rather than high-volume, spray-and-pray investing.
