Symmetrical Ventures was founded in late 2015, with the vision of partnering with creative innovators who are looking to transform traditional business models through disruptive technology. Symmetrical Ventures is a privately-held investment firm, focused on placing investments in early stage startups.
We are firm believers in companies that have elements of social good to them. We like to see founders that are driven by the positive difference that their product or service can make in people's lives, while at the same time building a successful business in the process.
At Symmetrical Ventures, we take a unique approach to every investment opportunity and work alongside entrepreneurs to support their needs, expanding growth opportunities.
Since its inception, Symmetrical Ventures had carried out an average of 1 investment per month. Investments include both direct investments in US-based startups, and limited partnership stakes in venture capital funds.
After 5 years and 6.5 Million dollars our investments have resulted in an IRR of 30% and growing. As happy as we are with our financial metrics to date, more satisfying still is the fact that in realizing their visions, our founders have had a positive impact in the industries they serve. Most of our portfolio companies have surpassed Series B level financing, with their brightest days still to come.
Our founding principle was based on the desire to provide more than just capital. For us the greatest enjoyment comes from being active partners in the companies with which we invest. We offer our time, energy, relationships, diverse skill sets, and decades of experience founding, building, operating, and scaling companies. As the portfolio is no longer in need of the same level of bandwidth from us as they did when we first got started we are pleased to announce a brand new fund, Xccelerant Ventures.
Xccelerant will operate on the same founding principle as Symmetrical. Opportunities not merely above and beyond capital alone, but opportunities at the very earliest stages of ideation. Opportunities that most traditional investors in the venture market wouldn’t even consider because they were too unproven, too early stage, too risky.
