WE AIM TO GET IDEAS TRUCKING

Venture 53 is the only pure-play seed/early-stage fund with a built-in

accelerator specializing in transportation and logistics.

 
 

The $800B Transportation and Logistics Industry is everywhere you look but blended into the fabric of America. It is fragmented, fiercely independent and ripe with opportunity for better integrated, connected solutions.

Venture 53 gets you moving forward.

Let’s unpack the power of Venture 53.

We get your business where you want to be by helping companies get their goods where they need to be. Our early-stage venture funds have an accelerator built-in under the hood. Just like a trailer can be packed differently, so too can a fund with the right accelerator.

 

HOW WE SUPPORT:

FUNCTIONAL EXPERTISE

Venture 53 brings unparalleled experience and expertise to our investments. We look through our lens as Insiders, Outsiders, Legends and Visionaries.  Our entrepreneurially minded team includes proven founders, community builders, operators, world class marketers and go-to-market experts.  We are selective about who is in our LP group (95% of them are Supply Chain/Freight executives) so we know our sector. Beyond our team we have the power to leverage our partner networks with deep industry and functional expertise. There is no wasted time with hopeful networking. 

Business Development

Each investment presents a unique and exciting opportunity for collaboration.  We begin identifying these in due diligence and work with our portfolio companies throughout the life of the investment. Whether it’s business development, sales leads or hiring introductions, we plug companies into faster paths to profitability. Venture 53 is led by a exclusive executive partner group that investments can turn on for strategic operational insight, advice and introductions to create clear advantage in the marketplace.

FUND RAISING

Part of  a startup’s journey is to grow in revenue and valuation, raising steadily more and more money from different kinds of investors. Venture 53 adds value by connecting with like minded VCs to support our promising portfolio companies as financing needs develop. We harness our long standing relationships with key stakeholders in the sector so that our investments can plug into the power of Venture 53.

Solutions lie within the architects that can design open-sourced, integrated systems – things that work together and reduce fragmentation.
