Since Susa Ventures’ inception in 2013, our team has partnered with entrepreneurs to build category defining companies. To that end, we are proud to announce the close of two new funds: Susa Ventures IV and Susa Ventures Opportunities II.

From left to right: Chad Byers, Caitlin Vanin, Courtney Buie Lipkin, Derick En’Wezoh, Kenny Joo, Hammad Aslam, Leo Polovets, Misha Gordon-Rowe, Natalie Arora, Pratyush Buddiga, Rachel Coffman, and Seth Berman.

Susa Ventures IV is $125M, and will focus on pre-seed and seed stage investments of $1M-$2M. Susa Ventures Opportunities II is $250M, and will focus on Series B and C stage investments of $10-$15M, primarily into existing Susa companies. We intentionally don’t lead Series As to align incentives with our founders. These two new funds will allow us to back founders from seed to growth.

Susa Ventures manages ~$1B in assets across multiple funds and vehicles. We’ve maintained a sector-agnostic approach, with an emphasis on financial services, healthcare, supply chain, software, and consumer. We love to partner with founders at the start of their journey, either via incubations or as first checks.

Below is a list of several mature businesses in Susa Ventures portfolio that are indicative of the type of entrepreneurs and businesses we like to back:

Enterprise SaaS: Mux, Outlier, Pachyderm, Workramp, Pex, Expanse

Financial Services: Robinhood, Policygenius, Fast, Nova Credit, Newfront Insurance, Sundae, Human Interest, Treasury Prime

Healthcare: Viz, Whisper, Spring Discovery

Supply Chain: Flexport, Stord, Stedi

Consumer: Omio, Whoop, Modern Animal, Lyst, Modsy, Parachute Home

Susa Ventures exists to serve entrepreneurs; the ones audacious enough to try to change the world. Thank you for trusting us to work and learn beside each of you, and thanks to our limited partners for letting us do what we love every day.

Team Susa
