Summary
Canvas Ventures is a Silicon Valley-based venture-capital firm focused on making early-stage investments in technology companies. We are thesis investors, which means we focus on select investment themes, including FinTech, marketplaces, digital health, new enterprise, and more. Are these the only areas in which we invest? No. But these are the domains in which we have the deepest knowledge and strongest networks.
With our thesis-based approach to investing, Canvas is already establishing itself as the go-to VC for fintech, digital health, marketplaces, “new enterprise,” and more. Canvas portfolio companies include CrowdFlower, Eden, Everwise, FutureAdvisor, HealthLoop, Totango, Transfix, Viewics, and Zola. We have a lot of experience helping companies recruit talent, scale operations, and secure follow-on investment when they need it. And, startups tell us we add a lot of marketing and PR firepower to their arsenal. Like founders, our ultimate goal is to help build enduring companies that create real, lasting value.
