1About Startup Capital Ventures
Based in Silicon Valley, Startup Capital Ventures focuses on early-stage companies that require relatively small amounts of capital to achieve success. While most venture firms have grown too large to invest as little as $250,000 to $1 million in a financing round, Startup Capital Ventures targets investments in this range. Generally, the firm targets capital efficient companies, such as software, that are generating some revenue and can show a reasonable likelihood of reaching near-term profitability from investment. Its geographic focus is principally Silicon Valley along with opportunistic investments in Hawaii, Texas, and Oklahoma. It also invests in China, through offices in Hong Kong and Shenzhen.
