Setup & Led By
Angel Investors & Founders

Our Story

Aventei Capital was born out of our frustration as Angel Investors, having seen way too many startups perish at the infamous Startup Death Valley Curve. Our core team’s extensive experience in bootstrapping and growing tech startups to multimillion revenue, led us to a new way to invest and incubate B2B tech startups. 

 

It taught us the importance of execution over ideas, getting to paying customers quickly and the necessity to scale the startup beyond $1 million ARR. Our early success with our startups getting to multimillion annuity revenues, has enabled accelerated returns for our initial investors, further validating our investment model. We are a US market focused Venture Capital firm, with its headquarters in Tampa, Florida, with additional offices in London, UK and in Chennai, India.
