Village Ventures is a seed and early stage venture capital firm focusing on the consumer media/retail and financial services sectors. Our strategy is to partner with leading entrepreneurs creating innovative products and solving complicated problems in those industries.
When it comes to seed and early stage investing, we believe that there is strength in numbers. True early stage firms are necessarily small, and therefore often lack the scale required to effectively support their entrepreneurs. Village Ventures has built a platform, which it offers to other seed and early stage firms, to provide for collaboration, co-investment and administrative cost sharing. This network is a powerful tool to expand our reach and make us more effective partners for our portfolio companies.
At betaworks, nimble, loosely connected companies match users, data and content to create superb products, great API's and profitable businesses.
