About

gnition is the leading venture capital firm focused on early-stage investments in enterprise software.

Our mission is to be a transformative partner to our portfolio companies, investing not only our capital but our time, expertise and personal/professional relationships with top leaders in technology and throughout the Fortune 500. We will do everything in our power to help our founders achieve their mission of building an iconic business.

We know “early enterprise.” This understanding is not academic but comes from our team’s collective experience in leadership positions at top technology and Fortune 500 companies, as startup builders, and investors. This is not just the space we invest in, but the life we live and the circles we move in.

Our network is unparalleled. We have deep relationships with well-respected entrepreneurs and key decision makers within top technology companies and members of the Fortune 500. Through these relationships and our past experience as builders and operators, we understand the needs of your potential customers, partners, and acquirers.

Through our focus on enterprise software, our duo-locations in Seattle and Silicon Valley, and our past experience, we have deep relationships with the cloud vendors. We don’t just know the “VC relationship” person at AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, we also know the best Go-To-Market people (the engineering and product teams, the business development teams and field leaders)–and know them well. Corporate development too! Why does this matter? More than any other investor, we can help you position your business and products to meet your business goals and provide you with access to influential decision-makers who can change the trajectory of your business.

We have a track record of investing in category makers such as Cloudera, Docker, DocuSign, Heroku, Icertis, Splunk, XenSource and Xamarin. Ignition Partners has returned more than $1B to investors since 2012.

We are actively investing in early-stage startups in the following sectors: Cloud Computing, Intelligent apps, Cybersecurity, B2B, Business IT, Machine Learning, AI (Artificial Intelligence), Frontier Tech, SaaS, Vertical SaaS, Business Applications.
