SemperVirens Venture Capital

SemperVirens Venture Capital, based in San Mateo, California, is an early-stage venture firm dedicated to investing in the evolving landscape of workforce technology, healthcare technology, and financial technology. The firm positions itself as an "ecosystem fund," strategically leveraging its limited partners, which often include large corporations and industry leaders, to provide not just capital but also invaluable strategic partnerships and market access to its portfolio companies. This approach aims to accelerate the growth and adoption of innovative solutions addressing critical challenges in the future of work, health, and financial wellness.

The firm has demonstrated consistent growth in its capital base, successfully raising multiple funds to support its investment thesis. Its first fund, SemperVirens Fund I, closed with $50 million in commitments. Building on this foundation, the firm recently announced the closing of SemperVirens Fund II, which secured $80 million, significantly expanding its capacity to deploy capital into promising early-stage ventures. This increased fund size underscores the firm's commitment to its specialized sectors and its ability to attract significant institutional backing.

SemperVirens typically targets Seed and Series A rounds, providing initial checks that range from $1 million to $3 million. Beyond financial investment, the firm emphasizes its role as a strategic partner, offering operational support, industry insights, and connections to its extensive network of corporate LPs. This hands-on, value-add approach is designed to help founders navigate market complexities, secure pilot programs, and ultimately scale their businesses more effectively within their target industries. Their focus remains on companies poised to redefine how people work, manage their health, and secure their financial future.
