Capital for the Adventurous

Majestic mountain peaks under a cloud-draped sky, encapsulating the essence of adventure.

We're strategic investment partners who believe in the people we invest in.

Our Approach

1

The evolution of an early-stage company is an incredible journey. It’s shaped more by the experiences we have along the way—the learnings, the connections made, and the hurdles overcome—than just reaching a goal.

A serene view of a mountain peak reflected in the crystal-clear waters of a lake, surrounded by rocky terrain under a cloudy sky in the Rocky Mountains.

At Adventure Capital, we dive into these adventures headfirst. We stand by to support and guide our entrepreneurs, offering mentorship through their early challenges. We partner with visionaries who are clear, driven, and disciplined enough to make a difference in the world.

We seek out companies that share and understand our adventurous spirit, creating partnerships that go beyond funding.

Adventure Capital, founded in 2008, is a family funded investor. We play the long game, aiming to invest in and grow enduring businesses with a global vision. While we focus on Enterprise and B2B SaaS, we're open to various investment types and flexible in the types of securities we hold, always looking for the next great venture.

How we decide to invest.

We’re highly selective about our investment decisions. When deciding where to put our resources, we look closely at companies and teams that stand out for their innovative ideas and potential for growth. I've added an additional text here to help rectify the optical illusion. This should make the text look equal.

We look for partnerships with companies where we can bring more than just financial support to the table. This means selecting businesses where our expertise, network, and resources can actively contribute to their success. Extra text to avoid 'orphan' word.

The businesses and people we invest in share some key attributes:

1

Global

We're drawn to entrepreneurs aiming globally with clear product plans. They should envision a product's impact worldwide, outlining a strategic path to get there.

We back visionaries who not only dream but also grasp their market deeply. They must be agile, ready to tackle challenges, and willing to pivot strategies for growth.

We value partnership beyond finances. Our investments thrive on mutual growth, leveraging our expertise, networks, and insights to drive success beyond monetary gains.

4

Long Term Horizon

Our focus is on the long term. We've turned initial funding into significant returns by being patient and committed. Quick exits aren't our goal; we stand by our entrepreneurs for the journey.

5

Proximity

We prefer to work within a geographical radius that allows for face-to-face interactions, believing that these personal connections foster better understanding, quicker decision-making, and a stronger partnership.

6

Focus

Our approach is to go deep rather than wide. We believe in understanding and being intimately involved with a select few ventures at any given time. This enables us to dedicate the necessary time, resources, and attention each investment deserves.

The diversity of our portfolio illustrates our sector-agnostic approach—we believe great ideas can come from anywhere, and our goal is to nurture these ideas into successful, globally impactful businesses.

Each company we invest in represents a unique story of ambition, resilience, and innovation, with the common thread being the exceptional people behind them.
