At Sanlab Ventures we are entrepreneurs who invest in entrepreneurs. We call this our E2E advantage. Our partners are our investors. They are experienced technology entrepreneurs who have launched successful startups. We are a private investment organization.
Sanlab differs from Venture Capital firms in that we do not raise a fund then reinvest that fund. And we never wear ties, not even to conferences or on panel discussions. We differ from incubators in that we do not provide office space or shared personnel (you'll need your own copy machine and receptionist).
Sanlab Ventures invests in startup or early stage technology companies. We take a special interest in teams developing truly innovative applications using emerging technologies. We will take the time to assess complex technology that is not commonly understood. The companies that we invest in must be working on solutions for markets that are huge. Opportunities in the broadband and wireless space are of particular interest.
Our target investment size is $500,000. We will act as the sole investor for companies seeking seed capital, or as a co-investor for firms seeking larger amounts of funding. Naturally, we anticipate that follow-on funding will be needed soon. Toward that goal, we act as a catalyst in that we help you to take your business to the next fundable event.
