Us We are the radically human venture capital firm. We are here to make sure you’re always in good company on the rather bumpy ride of fast-paced growth. We’re a team that knows scaling. Its many paths and painful pitfalls. Of course, more money can make a difference. However, being in good company makes all the difference. You You’re a fast growing tech scale-up in Europe. You're thinking about a Series A or B round of investment. You’re looking to work with like-minded people to build a meaningful company. Let’s get to know each other. The sooner the better, because let’s be honest, you also value having a relationship well before you need any funding. We are keen to work with ready-to-scale European tech companies in the following categories: Data and Intelligence; Software Services, Digital Models. We do not invest in Life Sciences, Clean Tech, Gaming Studios, Digital Media, Ad-Tech. We do not invest in companies based outside of Europe or at the pre-seed stage. The very earliest stages are critical, challenging, and essential, but we focus on early growth. Tech we like We have a vision of the future. We are looking for like minds who will shape this future. Our investment ideas are based on fundamental trends in specific areas of technology. Areas where we can make a real contribution with our experience and network. Smart Building Blocks We see a world where intelligence is no longer centrally accessed through ONE single point. Instead, it is distributed in an omnipresent fashion around the end user. Connectivity, cloud architecture and continued miniaturization of hardware are laying the foundations for new, exciting categories. We look for teams that are building category leading companies in Next Generation Networks | Virtualization | IoT Platforms | Big Data | Machine Learning | Smart Hardware and Robotics. Accessible Software In our opinion it’s clear that enterprise users want consumer level simplicity. While consumers want the power of sophisticated technology. These user groups are converging towards software applications that offer the best of both worlds. We’re looking for web and mobile services companies where smart software tools can be applicable to users in both a personal and professional context. Categories include: Productivity and Collaboration Tools | File Management | Analytics. Digital Transacting Technology has widened circles of trust and diminished transaction costs. As a result, consumption habits are changing fast. We see great opportunities for companies to unbundle the traditional service economy through digital models. As well as companies that can support the foundations of these new models through improved security, authentication and easier payment and fulfilment. Categories we’re interested in include: Marketplaces | Payment Services | Fin-Tech Platforms | Digital Security | Identity Solutions. How we like to work Every venture firm promotes their added value activities. We know that. Heck, some even have a talent pool ready to help with the design of your next logo. These are mostly used as a means to propel an investment once the ink has dried on the contracts. But there is life before the deal. We invest time first, money later. Our approach is to start by sharing our network, experience and capabilities. Well before any investment possibility arises. We believe getting to know each other, gaining trust and proving demonstrable value, are the foundations for a long-term relationship. We hope you agree. Ultimately, this approach helps both sides gain a higher degree of conviction when the actual opportunity to invest arises. We always stick to our promises, providing a fast and fair investment process. Sometimes our conversations are not followed by a capital investment. Time spent with the right people is never a waste. We also learn every day. When we do invest, we'll make sure that you’re in great company. Because money can sometimes make a difference but being in good company makes all the difference. That's why we're radically human in everything we do.

Eniac Ventures is an early-stage investment firm headquartered in NYC. Since our formation in 2009, we’ve been committed to backing highly technical founders who embody our values of authenticity, boldness, curiosity, and scrappiness. At Eniac, we believe that providing capital is just the beginning of the VC/founder journey and pride ourselves on the deep relationships we build with our founders.

We have invested in more than 90 companies since 2016, including Pinterest, Compass, Hippo, Ro, Carta, Dutchie, Anduril, Varda Space Industries, Ghost, Front, Esusu, OKCredit, and Unqork. Additionally, through our subsidiary fund, New Slate Ventures, we have financed films, documentaries, and limited series that have been acquired by Apple, Netflix, and Disney. Based in New York City, we invest globally. Backstory Sinai Capital Partners was founded in 2017. We raised $100 million and built a talented team of young investors with offices in New York, Palo Alto, and Los Angeles. We made over 90 investments, realized 11 exits, and achieved a 1X return on our first fund within two years. In 2019, we raised $100 million for a subsidiary of Sinai Capital called New Slate Ventures, with the goal of supplying the many players in the streaming wars with independent content. Our films, series, and documentaries won Academy Award nominations, Golden Globes, Grammy’s, and Emmy’s, and were acquired by the likes of Apple, Disney, and Netflix for multiples of their cost. As a solo GP, I believe boutique, disciplined, early-stage funds with effective managers will generate the best returns for investors in this forthcoming innovation cycle. Throughout my career I’ve nurtured relationships across Silicon Valley, Wall Street, Washington DC, and Hollywood, and aim to leverage this access on behalf of the founders I support. Where to Now? We’re currently in the midst of the greatest acceleration of technological progress since 2010 and the advent of mobile/social computing. New frameworks for problem solving are emerging daily aided by artificial intelligence, CRISPR technologies, climate manipulation, and several other radical new fields previously dismissed as science fiction. When we started Sinai, the prevailing wisdom in Silicon Valley was that “hardware was hard” and that software investments provided much better risk-adjusted opportunities. That assumption is becoming less credible in the current venture capital landscape, with space exploration, brain computer interfaces, driverless electric vehicles, autonomous warfare drones, and nuclear fusion companies all appearing to be increasingly within reach, with potentially transformational impacts on civilization. Sinai’s new focus will be on these harder technical problems, as we believe this is where the majority of the value creation for this next venture cycle will emerge. While we still welcome revenue generating SaaS businesses, its become clearer to us that the best returns come from the most non-obvious ideas in undefined markets and categories. Some of our latest investments include Anduril, Varda, Galvanick, Rangeview, Factory.AI, Science.IO, and several others. We seek to invest in 5-10 companies each year, with average check sizes ranging between $1-5M depending on stage. We’re happy to lead seed rounds where we have high conviction, but prefer to collaborate with our friends at top funds across the globe. We are geographically agnostic, but are most active in New York, San Francisco, Miami, London, and the South Bay of Los Angeles.
