XYZ Venture Capital believes great companies aren't born, they're made. We couldn't agree more, and we couldn't be more thrilled to count Ross Fubini, JeanClaude Dorsainvil, Mac Bohannon, Lucy Wilmot and the superbly insightful and gritty XYZ Venture Capital team among our earliest champions over these past 2.5 years. A major congratulations to the team on their newest fund! Let's build something great 🚀 🚀 🚀
XYZ Venture Capital just announced our fourth fund, and we got to tell a bit more of our story to Alex Konrad at Forbes. Including the addition of two new partners Art Clarke & Camille Ricketts. It's a big day here! 🎉 https://lnkd.in/gnKcgE82 It's been a good opportunity to look back at what's made us different and helped us meet folks at companies like Anduril Industries, Chapter, Apex - Spacecraft Manufacturing, Newfront, Cape, Puzzle 🧩🚀, Peregrine, Promise, and so many more super early. Here's what we kept coming back to: 1) We've been able to make a name for ourselves in the public sector by seeing it through a novel lens. We've invested in a combination of both defense tech and modern social services that make it easier and more delightful for citizens to get their needs met by government. Both are all about helping our country and others build safer, stabler, healthier, and happier societies. And that's the goal that keeps us all going around the clock 🕰️ 2) It's a theme that also shapes how we invest in enterprise, fintech, climate, and more. But we also know where we can add the most value. And as a team, our goal is always to help founders succeed at the one thing we know best: venture and how to win in a landscape that's constantly in flux. That's the promise we make to every portfolio company. And it's something this team is eager to share more about as we get used to being a bit louder around here :) Along the way, we'd love to hear from you. Never hesitate to DM us with questions, ideas, and people we should meet. Thank you to everyone who has supported us to get to this moment! 🙏 #venture #fundraise #publicsector
