Founded in 2020, Citta Capital is a venture capital firm based in Palo Alto, California. We prefer to invest in early stage and early growth stage companies in AI/ML, big data, cloud, healthcare technology, IoT, marketplaces, SaaS and enterprise, blockchain, and robotics. Our seasoned investment team has a good mix of extensive startup experiences as entrepreneur and strong operating background as senior executive of global companies. We are committed to be your long-term partners to take on challenges and pursue game-changing ideas.

We lead or co-lead Seed rounds. We use our experience and network to help founders and their companies achieve their full potential. Operational Excellence: A core value-add of our firm is to help our companies attain high levels of operational excellence. We believe that the process of building and honing a long-term operating plan creates clarity across many business dimensions for founders and teams. We provide the tools for founders to develop detailed operating plans in order to help them achieve their aspirational business goals on compressed timelines. Authenticity and Candor: Our approach to investing is differentiated and informed by our experience of over 25 years as investors across 500 companies. We bring the insights from these experiences and provide value-added feedback to founders efficiently, candidly and with empathy. We believe in complete transparency when it comes to the relationships we have with founders and encourage them to hold us accountable to our commitments. Scalability with Limited Capital: We believe it is our job as investors to help founders focus on strategic value creation (in addition to the tactical demands of their business). We engage deeply with the founding teams in the initial months after our investment and help them take a step back to make sure they are focusing on the highest value initiatives that will help them achieve outsized value creation. Founder Confidant: Our relationship with founders is based on low ego behavior, integrity, candor and mutual respect. In addition, given our long history of investing in companies, not much rattles us. Hence we are one of the more steady hands around the table in the entrepreneurial journey for founders. We have found that due to this model of engagement most founders think of us as one of their core confidants. We lead or co-lead investments in seed-stage companies across most vertical markets. We invest in business or consumer focused software companies that use the following technologies to transform the dynamics of their markets: AI (Artificial Intelligence) Data Science Software Automation APIs Blockchain Metaverse/Gaming

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.
