Overview
Costanoa Ventures is a venture-capital firm that funds early-stage startups in Applied AI, AI Infrastructure, Cybersecurity, National Security, and Fintech. It invests from formation through Series A, and uses its $2.3 billion in assets under management to support a small number of companies more deeply with hands-on guidance and operational help during the critical early growth phase. Compared with many investors, Costanoa focuses on a narrower set of sectors and takes a boutique approach—making fewer investments so it can provide more expertise and active support when it matters most. The firm’s goal is to help founders build companies that have a lasting impact and scale successfully from the earliest stages.
