Entrada Ventures is a late seed stage fund started by passionate, experienced operators and investors who have built multiple successful companies.
We don’t just write checks. We work personally and intensely with a few companies each year helping them develop from a startup with product-market fit to a strong business ready for its first round of institutional financing. By investing in and working with strong founders who’ve demonstrated some traction, we can significantly improve those companies’ ability to understand, manage, and scale their business and raise a tier-one Series A on great terms.
Entrada Ventures is based in Santa Barbara, CA, and invests across a broad range of innovative technologies. We are interested to hear from you, but please don't submit business plans or ideas to any of our partners via LinkedIn. Check out our website and, if you think you are a good fit for our strategy, connect with us through a mutual contact or via our site.
