About Saints

Saints Capital is a venture capital investment firm focused on the Direct Secondary market – meaning that it acquires stakes from existing investors and founders as opposed to investing into a primary round of capital. Saints formed its first fund in 2000 and was a pioneer in this category of venture investing. Since its founding, Saints has provided liquidity to General Partners and their Limited Partners in Venture Capital funds, to founders and early employees of venture-capital backed companies, and to financial institutions (banks, hedge funds and corporations) that have portfolios of private investments that wanted liquidity. Notable portfolio companies include Eventbrite, Facebook, Medallia, MNTN Digital, One Medical, Palantir, Square, ThetaRay, Vectra AI, Zipline, and Zocdoc.
