About 645 Ventures: 645 Ventures makes deeply-researched investments in institutional Seed to Series A rounds for exceptional companies who demonstrate stellar early results in the areas of market validation, product differentiation, team strength, & brand narrative. We focus primarily on software & Internet companies in areas such as SaaS, application software, financial software, consumer internet, & online marketplaces. We make a majority of our investments in those sectors & prioritize proven business models. We make a minority of our investments in new technology areas where deep technical innovation is occurring & where we believe there is will be a large future market opportunity. These sectors generally leverage the Internet or software in a fundamental way. For these companies, we look for deep technology differentiation plus early market validation or clear opportunity for such. We invest in companies that sell to both enterprise/SMB customers as well as direct to consumers.
