Pari Passu Venture Partners

Pari Passu Venture Partners (PPVP) is a founder-led, early-stage venture capital firm that invests at the intersection of technology and retail. With a focus on companies that demonstrate strong product-market fit, PPVP invests primarily in pre-seed to Series B rounds, offering checks ranging from $250,000 to $3 million. The firm is driven by a commitment to supporting exceptional founders by providing them with not just capital but also deep operational expertise, particularly in e-commerce and SaaS businesses. Led by Julia Gudish Krieger, Dylan Whitman, and Kyle Widrick, PPVP leverages its team's experience in building successful companies like BVA Commerce and Win Brands Group. This background gives them a unique perspective and access to highly curated deal flow, often allowing them to invest in oversubscribed rounds alongside top-tier funds like Sequoia and Upfront Ventures. PPVP’s portfolio includes companies across various sectors, such as Siena AI, a customer service automation platform, and EdSights, an edtech company focused on student retention. The firm also launched a co-investment network called PariPassu, which allows accredited investors to easily co-invest in high-potential startups through a user-friendly app. This platform enables investors to engage directly with founders and access exclusive deal opportunities, further amplifying the value PPVP brings to the table for both entrepreneurs and investors alike.
