SaaS Ventures

SaaS Ventures is a Maryland-based private equity firm established in 2017 that specializes in investing in seed-stage technology companies, particularly in the enterprise software sector. The firm seeks to co-invest alongside strong lead investors, leveraging its extensive network to facilitate future funding rounds. By focusing on smaller investments typically ranging from $750,000 to $3 million, SaaS Ventures aims to provide significant value to entrepreneurs while minimizing the complexities often associated with funding. The firm is particularly interested in "second tier markets," such as Chicago, Toronto, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Atlanta, where it identifies promising opportunities that may attract less competition yet still support substantial exits. With a background in entrepreneurship, SaaS Ventures prioritizes being a supportive partner to portfolio companies without taking significant stakes or leading investment rounds.
