About

Supporting founders and teams focused on the horizon.

How we help.

We consider it an honor when companies choose to partner with us, and it is this mentality that serves as our North Star and informs everything we do as a firm.

Transparency, candor, and integrity are hallmarks of how we operate. We are active partners who provide the full range of support – strategic, operational, and financial – with a laser-focus on guiding a company to the next stage in its evolution.

How we’re different.

We work with teams from anywhere in North America, but – where possible – we leverage our location to create additional value.

Decades of walking some of the more opaque corridors in the country have resulted in unique access and connections, and we bring this network to bear for each of our companies. This ecosystem can be esoteric and nuanced, but with over sixty years of combined experience as operators, entrepreneurs, and investors, it’s safe to say we speak the language.

How we allocate capital.

We invest in compelling early stage technology companies, but since nomenclature often varies, this warrants clarity and points of emphasis.

  • $2 to $4 million: We typically invest $2-$4m as part of $3-$12m financings, and we prefer to lead whenever possible.
  • Enterprise-First: We are exclusively B2B focused, so B2C or e-commerce aren’t for us. If supplementary, public sector revenue is a plus.
  • Real Traction: A subjective notion, but we look for evidence of satisfied customers buying products at an accelerating rate.

Knoll Ventures

Founded in 2018 and based in Atlanta, GA, Knoll Ventures invests in Pre-Series A tech enabled B2B companies. In Spring 2022, we closed our second fund to support founders at the earliest stages of the growth process where we help drive value creation and increase the odds of success. Our‍ approach We lead or co-lead $500,000 to $3,000,000 investment rounds in B2B technology-enabled companies at the pre-seed, seed, and post-seed stages. We understand that no two early-stage companies take the same path from Point A to Point B, and we're adept at helping founders navigate their way. We look for passionate founders who see around corners, intimately understand customer pain points, and articulate a future vision that feels all but inevitable. Stage Expertise: By focusing on Pre-Series A companies, we've developed a unique perspective on the challenges encountered by founders at this stage. Whether starting a business or facing what feels like an insurmountable obstacle, we aspire to be the first call a founder makes when looking for actionable advice. Alignment: We align ourselves with founders through our deep knowledge of round objectives and a scalable investment structure, creating a dynamic where we win only if the founders win. Network: We make the right introductions at the right time knowing that meaningful connections during this critical stage in the growth process can dramatically improve a company's trajectory. Our impact Our commitment extends far beyond the dollars invested. We take a long-term perspective when partnering with founders to identify ways to add value beyond just writing a check.

Arconic Capital

Most people only see a paradigm shift after the fact, not the incremental steps taken to get there. At Arconic, we focus on the delta. We believe growth is never a product of any one factor alone. It’s the incremental improvements; the intelligent interventions and the strategic connections that drive exponential returns. When these pieces come together, everything shifts. The growth compounds. The trajectory arcs up and to the right. The whole becomes greater from the sum of its parts. At Arconic, we believe greatness is Intelligible, incremental, measurable, accretive. AI accelerated technologies will reshape how business gets done. It has shaped our ambition, and the necessity, to build a new technology focussed private asset investment manager, built like a tech company. While we draw on over 40 years of experience and heritage as leading operators and investors, Arconic will combine AI and data driven techniques to provide actionable opportunities, optimise returns and build an efficient platform. Our initial Fund, Arconic Venture Fund I, will invest and partner with the next generation of category defining B2B and Enterprise leaders that will redefine industries.
