Contour Venture Partners invests in companies focused on information technology, and the application of innovative software solutions into the enterprise SaaS, vertical B2B SaaS and financial services sectors. The principals at Contour have a long and successful track record, having directly supported over 95 companies through numerous market cycles. We take great pride in the strong bonds we form with management teams, as this is a crucial ingredient to achieving long term milestones while also making the process engaging and enjoyable. We recognize it is the details and pursuit of flawless execution combined with the right long-term vision that makes a company great. We have the experience, intuition, judgment and industry expertise to ensure that the foundation is in place for management to build a great business with a sustainable competitive advantage. We have a deep understanding of how difficult it is to transform even the best ideas into successful enterprises. As a result, we take an active role and bring a team oriented approach to our portfolio companies – providing the operational assistance, transactional expertise, capital, network and overall judgment to maximize the potential for success and profitability. Investment Criteria We seek to work with exceptional entrepreneurs who are highly motivated and experienced leaders, with differentiated, defensible and scaleable products. We look for the long term potential to transform industry segments, the potential to achieve significant market share in large and growing markets and to grow independent of market conditions. Stage: Contour invests in seed and early stage companies that exhibit a clear path to profitability. The professionals at Contour have been active in all stages of venture capital and operations throughout their careers and understand the unique set of challenges facing management teams at each phase as our portfolio companies mature. Industry Focus: We invest in companies that provide innovative technology solutions into Northeast industry hubs where we have a deep understanding of the targeted markets, including financial services, enterprise software, vertical B2B software and digital media. Geography: Based in New York City, we take advantage of the depth of companies, managers and entrepreneurship within the major industry sectors located in the Northeast portion of the United States. Board Representation: The principals at Contour play an active role in the leadership of our portfolio companies. This includes taking a seat on the board of directors where we assist management with recruiting, sales, growth strategies, general operations, business development, finance and exit strategy. We look for opportunities where there is a mutual interest in entering into a deep long-term partnership with management to jointly build successful and sustainable businesses. Management Team DNA: Great entrepreneurs and management teams are critical determinants of success. We look for qualities in our management teams that include deep industry/sector expertise, solid judgment, strong leadership skills, managerial experience and intuition, long term commitment, high level of integrity and passion for their business. Investment Size: Contour invests between $500,000 and $1.5 million per round. We prefer to act as the lead or co-lead investor as well as represent the first institutional capital in the company. Exit: Contour typically invests between $500,000 and $1.5 million in the seed round and supports its companies through additional investment in future rounds. We are prepared to support our portfolio companies for many years.

Our current thesis is that valuable data and supporting infrastructure can create defensible businesses with more capital efficient scaling. We look for teams that understand how to generate and leverage proprietary data into scalable B2B platforms. We typically invest at the “early growth” stage of a company - after early product/market fit has been established, but before a company is ready for significant growth capital. Our team's experience – working together in this space since 2013 – brings differentiated insights into how data can be leveraged to create value. Entrepreneurs and investors who partner with us find that we hustle, dig deep, and make rounds happen. We approach each investment with a distinct strategy, leveraging tools, data, processes, relationships, and experience our team has built around the concept of valuable data assets. While we are flexible in our approach, we do have guiding principles about what we look for and how we support our companies. The following posts provide some additional insight into these principles and hopefully give a sense of what it is like to partner with us as an investor or founder.

Graphite Ventures is a Seeding for Scale venture firm, investing at the earliest stages, and setting trajectories to accelerate growth. Building enduring companies starts with strong relationships with the right partners. We collaborate early with founders, and we bring the power of an active platform of engaged advisors who have done this before. Since 2008, we have partnered with more than 175 startups. When we started in 2008, there was a big gap at the seed stage in Ontario. Many firms tried Seed investing, but not many stayed. Some moved to later stages, others shifted focus on companies south of the border. Our experience and commitment has made us experts at investing at seed, and working with Founders to set the trajectory for scale. Talk to a few Graphite Founders and they’ll tell you how we’re different. They'll tell you that we were there for them when no one else was. They'll say that we connected them to their first few customers. They’ll say we opened doors to advisors, experts, and founders who have become invaluable mentors. They’ll say we’ve rolled up our sleeves and worked with them, side-by-side, through challenging times. Later on, we introduced them to the lead investor for their next round. Elizabeth at Welbi will say our “pitch deck prep was invaluable during the fundraising process.” She’ll tell you that we “helped evolve her thinking on business models.” Mallorie at Bridgit will tell you that we "helped elevate the business in terms of financing model, creating board structure, and preparing the company to take on the next stage of institutional capital." Ryan at Nicoya will say our participation in a seed round is "a magnet - once the decision has been made to invest, it brings in a lot of other participants to the round." A common thing you’ll hear is that we’re different. And it's because of what we believe. We believe in local ecosystems. ‍ Ecosystems are vital to the innovation economy. So, when we commit to an ecosystem, we entrench ourselves in it, and its diverse fabric. With over 10 years of history across Ontario, we are ingrained in the community. We believe founders are our North Star. ‍ We accelerate entrepreneurs’ success efficiently with capital, community and connections. Then we get out of the way. ‍We believe collaboration is essential.‍ Call it the Canadian way, but we think Canadian entrepreneurs are most successful when we work together. We do things differently than the Valley. And that’s OK. At Graphite, we deliver collaboration - both offline and online - through a robust and engaged community. We’re hyper focused on building an early stage platform committed to Canada. That’s our promise to you. Where we invest:Sector: Primarily B2B software, fintech, digital health, proptech, and hardware. Regardless of sector, we focus on capital efficient businesses. Stage: Early stage - typically we look for a product built and with early customer traction. Geography: We work with companies that are primarily in Canada.
