About us
Vestigo Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts that invests in technology companies focused on financial services. We are distinguished by our deep financial industry expertise, exclusive access to the team and technology at Cogo Labs, powerful network of advisors and proven record as investors and operators. These advantages position us to successfully target the next generation of disruptive FinTech companies. BIG DATA EXPERTISE & FINANCIAL INDUSTRY INSIGHT Through our partnership with Cambridge-based Cogo Labs, Vestigo has a unique ability to identify FinTech startups whose value proposition is beginning to gain traction. Our data scientists apply proprietary algorithms to analyze several billion rows of code daily, derived from the email and web site behavior of millions of North American consumers. In doing so, we generate real-time graphic displays that allow us to detect - almost to the moment - when a FinTech startup shows signs of “going viral.” Equally important – The great majority of funded startups will not achieve critical mass, let alone a successful exit. Vestigo brings to bear the financial industry perspective necessary to meaningfully evaluate the value proposition and competitive landscape for each FinTech startup that pops on our screens. The team actively engages its network of financial services c-suite executive/decision makers to accelerate portfolio company growth and potential exit opportunities.
