Based in Silicon Valley, we focus on early-stage companies that require relatively small amounts of capital to achieve success. While most venture firms have grown too large to invest as little as $250,000 to $1 million in a financing round, Startup Capital Ventures targets investments in this range. The firm leverages its investment with unparalleled operations experience from a team of five seasoned professionals. Generally, we target capital efficient companies, such as software, that are generating some revenue and can show a reasonable likelihood of reaching near-term profitability from our investment. Our approach is to build a supportive partnership around an outstanding entrepreneurial team with a clear market vision for its product or service. We focus on investing in strong management teams, not just technologies. We strive to build a supportive working relationship with our portfolio companies based on flexibility, integrity, and patience.

As experienced business executives ourselves, who have founded and run companies, we know firsthand the hard work and challenges of building successful companies. A hallmark of our strategy is our ability to deliver deep domain expertise to each of our portfolio companies, which also reduces investment risk for our limited partner investors. An extensive network of strategic contacts and our presence in the US and Asia can make a difference in how rapidly our companies achieve critical milestones. Also, the team's extensive experience in the financial services industry gives us a special advantage in that investment sector. Our philosophy includes not only a commitment to our portfolio companies, but also a goal of creating industry leading companies for the long term.

Although our primary geographic focus is investments in the United States, we will invest opportunistically in Asia, primarily in China, through our office in Hong Kong. In the U.S., our focus is principally Silicon Valley as well as Hawaii, Texas, and Oklahoma, where the firm has extensive relationships through its limited partner base.
