SAS Investors
SAS Investors was a venture capital firm based in New York City, established in January 2001, that specialized in seed and early-stage investments primarily in technology companies located in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the United States. The firm focused on states such as New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Typically, SAS Investors made initial investments of up to $1.25 million, with a total commitment of up to $3 million over the life cycle of a portfolio company. It preferred to be the first institutional investor in its target companies and often sought co-investment opportunities. The firm aimed to support unique and defensible technology ventures by leveraging its resources and experience to assist portfolio companies in developing effective go-to-market strategies, understanding industry dynamics, and maximizing the potential of their intellectual property. SAS Investors, backed by notable venture capital firms, positioned itself as a leading supporter of core technology companies in its targeted regions. However, it is no longer actively investing.
