## About Las Olas Venture Capital

VC Fund · Fort Lauderdale, United States

Las Olas Venture Capital (LOVC) is an early-stage venture capital fund that invests in startups in various industries. Their core mission is to amplify the impact of founders building the future in nonobvious geographies and industries. As active lead investors with a concentrated early-stage portfolio, their support extends beyond capital. LOVCprovides tailored strategic and operational guidance to our founders and connects them to our networks of capital, talent, and potential customers. Investment themes reflect their view on the emerging technologies and business architectures that they think will fundamentally impact how the world runs. LOVC focuses on investing in B2B software companies. This approach to B2B software investing stems from their deep operational expertise in scaling these types of companies and our conviction that a unique market opportunity exists for innovation within the enterprise. They believe that regardless of background or location, when determined, intelligent people make it their mission to solve a challenging problem and change the world, they often do. They are generalist investors within B2B and target investments in vertical SaaS, software-enabled marketplaces, and knowledge worker tools. Consumer-facing technology, hardware or service-based businesses, and industries like biotech and Web3 that require deep domain expertise to develop conviction fall outside their thesis. LOVC's investments typically demonstrate early product-market fit signals. $15-75K MRR is their sweet spot for recurring revenue businesses, but they understand that product market fit also manifests in other ways. LOVC invests in companies based in the Eastern United States.
