Claremont Creek Ventures (CCV) is a seed and early stage venture firm that invests in companies that serve essential, broad-impact industries, including healthcare and energy. CCV invests in startups with innovative digital solutions that optimize efficiency or create entirely new high-growth, high-margin businesses in these industries.

As part of CCV’s investment strategy, the firm practices “life cycle venturing”: establishing in-depth, active relationships with entrepreneurs alongside or even ahead of early-stage funding events. CCV prefers to lead the earliest investment round, to collaborate with entrepreneurs when their business concept is still evolving and their operating model is adaptable. Then, CCV helps to establish business partnerships and build strong syndicates with premier venture and corporate investors to successfully navigate each phase of growth.

CCV has invested in over 40 companies and manages more than $300 million across two funds. Notable investments include Clean Power Finance, EcoATM, Element Energy (acquired by Volterra), Natera, PropertyBridge (acquired by MoneyGram), RidePal, SmartZip Analytics and Yerdle.
