Costanoa Ventures, a Palo, Alto, California-based early-stage venture firm focused on tech startups that solve “real-world business problems,” raised $75m for its opportunity fund.
The fund followed Fund III, which closed in September 2017, bringing the total capital under management just under $600m.
Led by Greg Sands, Founder and Managing Partner, Costanoa Ventures primarily focuses on early-stage startups and entrepreneurs who have ideas that change how business gets done in categories such as AI-driven SaaS applications, data and AI infrastructure, software for autonomy, DevOps and cybersecurity.
The firm also brings specialized expertise to its portfolio companies with its experienced go-to-market executive team – including a full-time Chief Marketing Officer, Chief Revenue Officer and Chief Talent Officer – that work alongside companies to achieve Product Market Fit and build sales and marketing to grow faster and more efficiently.
