Passa Ventures

Venture capital is not always a match.

As prior founders ourselves, we partner with founders and venture capital funds to help start-ups find a better capital structure for their next stage of growth.

Why Us?

We have been through the startup fundraising process ourselves. In 2011, while building his start-up, Jeremy was forced to abandon the traditional VC-funded dream and resort to boot-strapping.

The experience of growing a business organically without the pressure and burden of an institutional capital table was an unforeseen advantage.

Now we want to provide that opportunity to fellow founders, returning them the freedom to operate their company in the best way they know how.

What We Look For:

Company Criteria

  • A Minimum of 10mm+ in Revenue

  • Anything that is breakeven, profitable, or has a viable path to get there

  • Does not require significant capital expenditure (Clean Tech, AI, Drug Development, etc.)

  • SaaS

  • Ecommerce

  • Marketplaces

Sectors
