Moneta Ventures

Moneta Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2014 with a focus on mission-critical enterprise technology companies. The firm, with offices in Sacramento and Austin, emphasizes investments in companies that utilize differentiated technology and multi-layered monetization strategies—a sector they call "Software++." Moneta invests across a variety of industries, including AI/ML, EdTech, FinTech, and Healthcare IT. Moneta Ventures typically leads early-stage funding rounds, actively participating in the growth of their portfolio companies through hands-on involvement. They often take board seats and provide operational support to help startups scale. Their commitment to founders is a key part of their strategy, as they prioritize deep, long-term relationships, offering guidance that goes beyond financial investment. Moneta’s unique model includes significant alignment with their investments—5% of their capital comes from their own partners, ensuring a vested interest in the success of each company. The portfolio includes notable companies like App Orchid, which is making waves with its AI-driven data solutions, and Reviver, a tech innovator in the automotive sector. Moneta has successfully scaled several companies to exits, including TeleMed2U and Payable (acquired by Stripe). The firm continues to grow, with its third fund exceeding $200 million and a focus on building category-defining companies in emerging tech sectors. Moneta’s team comprises seasoned entrepreneurs and operators who bring decades of experience to their investments, ensuring that their portfolio companies have the strategic support needed to succeed.
