About

Early Light Ventures (ELV) is a venture capital firm founded in 2019, primarily investing in early-stage B2B SaaS companies. With around $37 million under management, the firm focuses on backing underdog founders who exhibit grit and ambition, especially those building in data-driven business applications, the future of work, and learning technologies. ELV is headquartered in the Mid-Atlantic region, but its portfolio companies extend across the U.S., with notable investments in startups like Sorcero, Workstream, and LearnLux. The firm seeks to empower non-traditional entrepreneurs by evaluating startups based on merit rather than established credentials or connections. ELV emphasizes speed and conviction, often closing deals within days. They specialize in capital-efficient companies, aiming to support founders regardless of whether they are pursuing billion-dollar exits. Instead, their priority is enabling founders to "win" on their own terms, ensuring sustainable growth and successful outcomes. Led by a team of experienced entrepreneurs and investors like Scott Garber, Sam Diener, and Greg Cangialosi, ELV provides not only financial backing but also strategic advice, leveraging their extensive network to connect startups with other investors, key hires, and growth opportunities. Their approach to venture capital is highly founder-friendly, focusing on collaboration, integrity, and rapid execution to help startups scale efficiently and effectively.
