Moneta Ventures, dual-headquartered in Sacramento, CA, and Austin, TX, has raised over $250 million for its third fund.
Moneta Ventures is a venture capital firm that invests in Seed and Series A enterprise software companies. Their investment thesis centers on “Software++”, a set of criteria that involves investing in software companies with multi-layered monetization strategies and a transformational technology play.
Investors in their most recent fund include high net-worth individuals and family offices in California and Texas, and institutional investors such as banks.
Additionally, over 10 founders and executives in Moneta Ventures’ portfolio invested into Moneta’s third fund. Of the $250+ million in the fund, $10 million came directly from the Moneta Ventures general partners.
“Our success in this fundraise is a direct result of the unwavering support of our early investors,” said Lokesh Sikaria, Moneta Ventures Founder and Managing Partner. “We have been fortunate to invest in companies with visionary founders that accelerate growth and returns for our investors. We look forward to continuing to support the bright and growing startup ecosystems in the U.S. West Coast and Texas.”
As of the date of close, Moneta Ventures has $360M+ in assets under management and 56 companies in their portfolio across all three of their funds, including Aumni, VideoVerse, App Orchid, Sibros and Worlds.
Most of the partners at Moneta Ventures have been working together as entrepreneurs and operators for over 25 years. A pillar of the firm’s success is this strong operational and entrepreneurial background, and is a large part of why they have been named to Inc. Business Magazine’s “Founder Friendly Investors” list for four consecutive years.
Moneta Ventures invests in early-stage software companies, writing initial check sizes of $1-5 million. The firm plans to continue to invest heavily in the U.S. West Coast and Texas startup ecosystems.
