Union Square Ventures is an early stage venture capital firm based
in New York City. We invest in young companies that use information
technology in innovative ways to create high growth business
opportunities in the Media, Marketing, Financial Services,
Telecommunications, and Healthcare industries.
Our venture capital firm was conceived as a place where a small
number of very experienced investment professionals, working
collaboratively from a single office, could build a portfolio of
promising startup companies and then put our experience and our
networks to work to help those companies build valuable businesses.
Over the past 17 years, we have been directly involved in the
development of 40 companies and have, through our prior firms,
participated in the launch of over 120 companies. That experience has
convinced us that we can deliver the highest returns to our investors
by doing the work of venture capital ourselves, from sourcing
investments, through due diligence and supporting our portfolio
companies, to ultimately exiting the investments.
For an entrepreneur looking for venture capital, this means that you
will be dealing with a principal of the firm from day one. If we chose
to invest our time in your business, you can be sure that we are
serious about investing our capital as well. As a portfolio company,
you will be supported by a partner who has been directly involved with
your company since the initial investment consideration. We will, as a
result, be able to quickly identify opportunities to contribute to the
development of your company whether you need to round out your
management team, connect with a potential customer, or find a strategic
partner. Our ongoing, direct involvement will also enable you to react
quickly to financing, acquisition, or exit opportunities.
