Partner
Conductive Ventures · San Francisco Bay Area
Present
Conductive Ventures invests in software, hardware and tech-enabled services startups to grow efficiently in industries primed to innovate. We have $450M in AUM from three funds to achieve this mission, and we are deploying it into post-product companies with early revenue traction. Over the past few years startups have been “building war chests” to expand without positive unit economics. These were the first to struggle in the current economic conditions. From day one, we invested in capital efficient, non-traditional entrepreneurs who are scrappy, understand the importance of a fast customer payback period, and stronger unit economics to build sustainable businesses.
