C2 Ventures careers

C2 Ventures is an early-stage investment platform. We bridge the gap between founders and capital through content, connections, and experience.

In addition to making direct, venture investments, C2V supports its companies through capital raises, exits, commercial scaling, financial and operational support, and advice, and promotional content.

To-date, C2V has provided advice and support for more than 25 companies, raised more than $20 million in seed and later-stage funding, and has supported 3 of its 8 portfolio company exits.

Early-stage Approach -- Early-stage venture capital funds consistently outperform both late-stage venture funds and public markets. Risk-adjusted returns dramatically favor Seed vs Series A entry points, with seed-stage investments offer 4x valuation discounts. Beyond that, the real value in early-stage investments is having a truly differentiated asset class.

Location Advantage -- Popular start-up cities like San Francisco are highly crowded but offer worse investments. New York and the East Coast are long on promising startups and short on early-stage venture funds. By focusing on these areas, and other underserved US markets, we see better traction, terms, and valuation at seed.

To-date, C2V has provided advice and support for more than 20 companies, raised more than $20 million in seed and later-stage funding, and has supported 3 of its 4 portfolio company exits.

We believe the 75% failure rate of startups in their first two years is a statistic, not an inevitability.
