.406 Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests in innovative Information Technology (“IT”) and services companies founded by the finest entrepreneurs. We are a veteran team of industry entrepreneurs, operators and investors who apply real world experience, deep industry knowledge and networks, and strong company-building skills to create value for our entrepreneurs and investing partners. We typically are the lead, first institutional investor in early-stage and de novo investments in market-changing IT Security and Infrastructure, Technology-Enabled Business Services, and Next-Generation Software companies.
As investors, we bring an entrepreneurial energy, enthusiasm and tireless commitment to our companies. Every member of the .406 team is an entrepreneur, each of us having been a founder, builder or principal driver in several successful companies. As a result, we are able to offer real-world advice based on first-hand experience with the unique challenges, opportunities and rewards associated with growing early-stage businesses.
We have a passion to share the benefits of our past experience so that entrepreneurs can make better decisions and avoid costly mistakes. We can help anticipate and manage rapid-growth risks as well as identify and support first-mover advantage on potential opportunities.
Finally, we understand the importance of mutual alignment in creating value every day. We believe in being fair to founders and sensitive to their ownership concerns. We work to achieve a balance of being an exceptionally strong advocate and a constructive sounding board. And we are committed to direct and honest communications with our investors and business partners.
