Village Ventures is a seed and early stage venture capital firm focusing on the consumer media/retail and financial services sectors. Our strategy is to partner with leading entrepreneurs creating innovative products and solving complicated problems in those industries.
When it comes to seed and early stage investing, we believe that there is strength in numbers. True early stage firms are necessarily small, and therefore often lack the scale required to effectively support their entrepreneurs. Village Ventures has built a platform, which it offers to other seed and early stage firms, to provide for collaboration, co-investment and administrative cost sharing. This network is a powerful tool to expand our reach and make us more effective partners for our portfolio companies.
Theres a complex relationship between the urban environment and human health. Its not always harmonious; its links sometimes fray. And, as interests compete, problems emerge. Some involve simple, well-known equations. More cars produce more air pollution; more air pollution causes more respiratory ailments. However, many cause-and-effect situations are less obvious. Yet they lead to maladies ranging from allergies to asthma, heart disease to hypertension, depression to diabetes to death. Green Field Ventures understands these connections. In fact, we often detect them and recognize theyre failing long before others do. We then work with companies to create technologies that solve these problems. Our approach combines science, common sense, acute business acumen and a proven innovation process. And our results help improve the world.
