Appian invests in software and technologies that improve business performance through the application and management of network connectivity. We call this focus Applied Connectivity. In an increasingly decentralized and distributed commercial environment, Applied Connectivity represents the fastest-growing segments of the IT industry.

With an investment philosophy best summed up as Connect. Sharpen. Succeed., we pursue Applied Connectivity business opportunities with a whole-company approach that benefits the entrepreneur as much as it does Appian.

Our investment emphasis is on seed and early-stage technology companies located in the Western U.S. We also consider growth or late stage companies.
