Nonvoice Ventures
Nonvoice Ventures invests in new forms of innovation that span disruptive technologies such as 5G and Augmented Reality (AR). Investing in both consumer and enterprise apps, we search the world for leading apps and services that we can invest in and guide and advise with our business experience and relationships. Having worked with app developers since the early days of the app ecosystem being created, we know that access to capital is something that many app developers value. Whether it's to create a first prototype or proof of concept or launch or to take the app to the next level and scale for growth, Nonvoice Ventures invests to help our portfolio companies get there. Nonvoice Ventures is product and people led- we only invest in innovative world-class products developed by a strong, committed and empathetic management team. Great products are necessary but not sufficient- great leadership is also essential. Nonvoice Ventures focuses on seed and early-stage funding. Seed Funding helps entrepreneurs cover expenses while launching their new app. Early Growth Funding normally follows, via a bridge financing round or a Series A round, to help entrepreneurs commercialize their work and launch and grow an early minimum viable product (“MVP”) or service. Most VC firms have moved upstream in recent years to make larger investments in later stage companies. High-tech media firms that need capital in the early stages of their life cycle, typically in the range of $100K to $1.5M, are in our sweet spot. We invest in various technologies, media and entertainment categories, target audiences and locations to offer a balanced portfolio and offset risk. Nonvoice Ventures leverages its global network of experts to identify, assess and accelerate the likely success of our portfolio companies. Our team members are expert executives, operators and investors in the technology and media sectors. Our Directors assist us during due diligence and help our start-ups..
