Conductive Ventures

Conductive Ventures, established in 2017 by Carey Lai and Paul Yeh, is a venture capital firm focused on investing in early efficient growth technology companies. Based in Palo Alto, California, the firm manages $450 million in assets across its three funds. The firm's investment strategy centers on companies with at least $1 million in revenue that are efficient in their capital use and demonstrate significant growth potential.

Conductive Ventures' portfolio includes notable companies such as Blueshift, CSC Generation, Forte, HireEZ, Jackpocket, Nice Healthcare, Self, Tripalink, and Versatile. The firm has achieved successful exits, including IPOs for Desktop Metal, Proterra, and Sprinklr, as well as acquisitions like Oculii by Ambarella and Travelbank by US Bank. The team, led by Managing Directors Carey Lai and Paul Yeh, takes a hands-on approach to support their portfolio companies, assisting with business development, go-to-market strategies, and access to further funding opportunities. Their dedication to working closely with founders aims to foster long-term growth and success.
