Ridge Ventures is a VC fund in San Francisco focused on Software and Internet. Ridge Ventures funds experienced founders redefining how the world interacts with software. Whether for the cloud or the edge, we look for companies delivering advanced technologies, new distribution models and incredible user experiences to market. While we’re focused on SaaS and infrastructure solutions for the enterprise, we also backstartups in adtech, gaming and ecommerce.
