Select Venture Partners
VC Fund
Fredericksburg, United States
Select Venture Partners is a VC fund in Fredericksburg focused on Software and SaaS. Who We AreWe are an early stage, post-seed/pre-Series A investment management firm, with an experienced team, all of whom have extensive cross-industry and cross-functional operating experience in software startups. We invest two crucial elements into early stage software companies – money and experience – to launch early stage companiesto the next level.Many great early stage companies, which have raised initial seed capital to build v1 products and are now looking for a “pre-Series A” round, face a trade off between money and expertise. Individual Angel investors typically cannot identify, evaluate or help early-stage companies move forward, and traditional VC’s invest at much later stages in a company’s development.The Select team bridges the funding and expertise gap, with combined personal experience of more than 100 years of operating experience and over one billion dollars of successful exits. We are committed to using our personal resources, time, and network to help early stage companies succeed.
