Relevance Ventures (formerly Relevance Capital) is a VC fund in Brentwood focused on Software and Health Care. Relevance Ventures is an early-stage venture firm, based in Nashville, Tennessee, that focuses primarily on companies providing solutions in two sectors: fintech/enterprise software and health + wellness solutions. Since 2011, Relevance has grown from a public-private partnership with the state of Tennessee concentrated on regional technologyinvestments into a leading investment firm targeting major disruptors across the nation with more than $115M in total assets under management. Relevance is fixated on deploying capital into startups that create positive change for the everyday consumer, empower businesses to reach their full potential, and help reduce the burden on our nation’s healthcare system. The Relevance team is comprised of unique, battle-tested members that have worked in a variety of industries including Fintech, EdTech, CPG, Healthcare and on Wall Street. Their experiences evaluating, expanding, and exiting businesses allows them to establish relationships with founders and industry partners that are built upon robust guidance and strong interpersonal relationships. The firm’s investment mandate and geographic location enables them to anchor deals across the country contributing anywhere from $250K to $2.5M in financing rounds depending upon stage, size, growth trajectory, and the long-term potential of the business. Frequently investing alongside top-tier coastal venture partners, the firm has built a robust, collaborative deal-making network throughout the venture community. The team’s relatively small size enables them to move quickly while leveraging their network to syndicate deals to ensure timely completion. Relevance Ventures is considered an entrepreneur-friendly venture firm focused on creating mutually beneficial opportunities and long-lasting partnerships with founding teams. Relevance’s two principal general partners are members of the Patawomeck Indian Tribe of Virginia, making it one of the few (if not only) Native-owned independent early stage venture firms in the United States.
