Maven Ventures is the leading VC firm investing in seed-stage consumer software companies led by exceptional founders with a â??vision worth fighting forâ?? in billion-dollar markets. Our team identifies future consumer trends that will make a difference and improve the way millions of people communicate and live. Weâ??ve already seen our investment predictions come to life in areas like self-driving cars, the proliferation of mobile, video communication, the future of retail, and digital health. Notable investments include: Cruise (acquired by GM), Zoom ($1B valuation), and Chariot (acquired by Ford). As we only make 5 new startup investments each year, we focus on each one, rolling up our sleeves to teach founding teams how to achieve product/market fit, hone their consumer messaging, reach millions of customers with viral marketing, and set them up for success.
