FIRM OVERVIEW: Small Private VC founded in 2009 based out of Oakland, USA (US West)
FIRM DESCRIPTION: Illuminate Ventures is different – we don’t rely on “pattern recognition” or following the herd. We seek new and innovative business ideas led by committed, talented and diverse teams. We recognize that great investment opportunities come in a variety of packages - sometimes looking a bit different from the norm.
Our team is made up of experienced investors with significant operating and investment track records, complemented by a world-class Advisory Council. We invest in US-based high growth, capital efficient companies in selected sectors within the high-tech landscape, typically as the first institutional investor at early stages, but also at a point where an established bootstrapped or debt financed company may be seeking its first equity financing. We work closely with founders to support them in building truly great companies and teams. We’ve been there ourselves and know that teams made up of individuals with diverse backgrounds and skills deliver innovative thinking with outstanding results.
