Circadian Ventures

Circadian Ventures is an Atlanta-based venture capital firm founded in 2020, investing in early-stage technology and technology-enabled businesses across the United States. The firm's debut Fund I raised $17.1 million and invested across 13 portfolio companies in cybersecurity, fintech, AI, and data analytics. Overall, the firm has completed 35-plus transactions. Founding Partner Mike Dowdle leads alongside Principal Steve Hasty, who joined in May 2020 and handles deal sourcing, due diligence, operations, and business development. Circadian leads rounds at the Pre-seed through Series A stages, deploying checks of $500,000 to $3 million. The portfolio covers software applications, cybersecurity, fintech, AI and deep tech, data analytics, and SaaS. Notable portfolio companies include Precog, ketteQ, and DataPlor — all business and productivity software companies. The firm actively partners with exceptional entrepreneurs to build enduring businesses, bringing both institutional discipline and direct operating engagement to its portfolio relationships. Circadian Ventures represents the growing institutional presence of the Atlanta technology and investment ecosystem — a city that has developed significant enterprise technology infrastructure but has historically had fewer dedicated early-stage venture funds than coastal markets. By focusing on enterprise-grade technology solutions with broad US investment scope while operating from Atlanta, the firm channels capital and attention to founders who benefit from an investor with strong regional roots and national deal flow access.
