Venture Capital Jobs and Internships at Las Olas Venture Capital

Purpose-built for founders. By founders.

The time is now for enterprise innovation. We want to be more than just a check for the game-changing software businesses of tomorrow. Our team brings a proven track record of success in building great companies and a unique combination of experience and resources that we leverage to help you take your company to the next level.

Our Thesis

Contemporary enterprises prioritize innovation. The implementation of technology to modernize outdated business processes has catalyzed a new era of productivity growth along with a shift towards everything being digital, anytime, anywhere. And the people building the next category-defining companies for enterprise exist everywhere, not just the traditional technology hubs. With so much capital in the industry, we don’t want to be just a check. We lead rounds, take board seats, and take it upon ourselves to implement a deeply hands-on and supportive approach with our founders and CEOs.

Our Values

• Focus: We spend time on what matters because we invest exclusively in early-stage enterprise software and have been founders before. Our strongest value-add derives from our real-world experience building great companies.
• Availability: Startups are roller coasters. We think about ourselves as a 24/7 resource through the ups and the downs.
• Empathy: We’ve been in your shoes and want working with us to be as enjoyable and supportive as it is productive.
• Conviction: Our low-frequency and high conviction approach to investing translates to how strongly we believe in our founders and their businesses. We move quickly and seamlessly through diligence and term sheets because we know that you want to focus on building your business.

Investment Criteria

• Stage: We target the Seed stage. We find that to be the most exciting time to partner with companies and the stage that we can add the most value as investors.
• Geography: We invest primarily in companies based in the Northeast, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest.
• Sector: We invest exclusively in B2B software. While we're industry agnostic, we focus on Vertical Software and Knowledge Worker Tools as broad themes.
• Traction: Our investments typically show early signs of product-market fit and revenue traction. For a typical SaaS company, our sweet spot is $20-50K+ in MRR.
• Check Size: We target $1.5-2.5M initial checks and reserve capital for follow-on rounds.
• Structure: We prefer to lead rounds.
