Fitz Gate Ventures is an early stage, network-driven venture capital firm formed in 2015. To date, Fitz Gate has minted two unicorns from its early stage investments in Funds I and II (Smartasset and Celestial AI).
Fitz Gate has a proprietary community of hundreds of “Friends of Fitz” (advisors) who are startup founders, venture capitalists, professors, subject matter experts and senior executives who help the firm (deal flow, diligence, advice) and its portfolio companies (introductions to customers, partners, funding sources, etc.). These “Friends of Fitz” coupled with Fitz Gate’s broader networks are a unique strategic advantage of the firm.
Fitz Gate’s independent sourcing capabilities, as well as its success in identifying premium startups, has been demonstrated both by its exceptional returns in its first two funds as well as by the blue chip venture capital firms who have followed after Fitz Gate has invested.
Fitz Gate portfolio companies have been profiled in most major media outlets including Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, CNN, The Financial Times, Bloomberg and Vogue.
