Crosscut Ventures

About

In 2008, we defied conventional wisdom by founding a venture capital firm in Los Angeles instead of Silicon Valley. Today, we’re managing $300+ million and driving the ecosystem forward with innovative programs that support founders and their communities.

We’re partners

We’re committed to building companies alongside you, not just writing checks. We are former founders, operators and executives and we aren’t afraid to roll up our sleeves.

Investing in you

Not only do we support investments in personal development and wellness, we commit capital to it. That’s why when we partner with companies, we pledge one percent to fund bespoke programs that support our founders’ growth.

The expertise you need

When we don’t have the answers, someone in our networks will. Tap our deep roots in Los Angeles’ tech community to connect with founders, operators and industry experts who can help you grow.

Our first great bet

In 2008, Crosscut set out to prove that Los Angeles could support a robust technology entrepreneurship ecosystem. Now, we’re the most established seed-stage venture capital fund in LA.

How it played out

After years of building our community in LA, we empower our city with events that bring together its most inspiring innovators, operators, and creators. From flagship events welcoming newcomers to LA to roundtable dinners that we call Crosscut Conversations, our events bring together the changemakers that are building the future of the LA tech scene.
