About Us
Investment Strategy - More Than Just Capital
Founded in 2000, Southern Capitol Ventures is an active venture capital firm headquartered in Raleigh, NC. We focus on providing capital to leading technology companies in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.
We are currently investing out of Fund II and our initial investments have ranged from as little as $35k to as much as $1 million. Typically, we invest $500k initially and $1.5 million over the life of a company. While we focus on early-stage companies we will always consider later stage opportunities and spinouts in which we partner with larger VC funds.
We deploy a very disciplined investment strategy, partnering with companies where we have significant knowledge and domain expertise. These industries include: software, e-commerce, digital media, mobile and healthcare IT. We are often the first investor to become involved with a company.
We carefully select and limit the number of companies in which we invest to ensure that our portfolio companies get the attention and resources they need to succeed. Our unique approach gives us one of the highest partner-to-company ratios in the industry.
“SCV was incredibly supportive of Art.com even years prior to making their financial investment. We were extremely selective when we went in search of financing and were fortunate to align ourselves with such a great partner. SCV was helpful in many ways including key operational, financial and recruiting issues we encountered all along the way. I considered them part of our team.”
