## About G20 Ventures

VC Fund · Boston, United States

G20 Ventures provides early traction capital for East Coast enterprise tech startups, backed by the power and expertise of 20 of the Northeast's most accomplished entrepreneurs.We look for great teams in love with big problems. Our focus is generally on early-stage, East Coast, and enterprise software, especially virtual infrastructure andcloud-based solutions. We prefer technology risk to market risk, and won't generally invest in 100% consumer-facing businesses.We get that great teams are built over time, but typically look for a core team (at least 2 people) that includes a technologist with experience building solutions similar to the one being proposed, and a business person who really understands the buyer and how to reach them. We like to see a product in market, and some early customer validation. Our sweet spot investment is $2-5 million in Series A. We reserve capital for every earlier stage deal we do, meaning we want to be with you all the way.
