Let us be upfront: We don't fit the standard model of a venture capital firm.
Shadow Ventures
Team
We have zero ivy league MBA’s with investment banking pedigrees. From our point of view, that's not
what tech investing is about. We are a firm of entrepreneurs who still write code, obsess
over long sets of data, and yearn for the daily in-the-trenches grind of operating startups.
We're proven entrepreneurs & investors. We're unapologetic technology nerds. We're ruthless
builders.
