At Matr (matter) Ventures, we invest in deep tech software companies, with special attention to fostering an ecosystem that connects companies led or co-led by culturally diverse or women founders with investors looking for alpha in untapped markets.

Meet the Crew

We invest in late seed-stage and Series A, deep tech software (AI, computer vision, automation, and machine learning) companies.

While we’re opportunistic when a good opportunity presents itself, we prioritize four industries: 1) Health 2) FinTech 3) Climate/Energy 4) Cyber

Due to their capital-intensive nature, we don’t invest in medical hardware devices or mobility hardware.

Our ImpactEconomic Empowerment thru Entrepreneurship

How we measure impact starts at the GP level, and powers diverse founders who drive economic empowerment thru the success of their companies.

1. Your capital is invested with and entrusted to Matr Ventures - a diverse fund manager.

2. We invest in companies led or co-led by Multicultural or Women Founders.

3. Companies led by diverse founders tend to hire more diverse employees who may receive stock options as part of their compensation.
   
   When our portfolio companies grow, get acquired, or go public, we witness an exponential increase in diverse representation across the innovation economy, and founders, their employees, future founders, their families, and communities are taken down the wealth creation path.
