Strategy
Asymmetric brings strategic partnership to every stage of your company's growth. From getting your first customer to going public, we’ll be right there with you.
What we're excited about
Software
Though nearly a decade has passed since “software is eating the world”, the reality of most legacy industry operating models remains static and offline. The increasing commercial relevance of data and predictive analytics is driving a revolution in how businesses operate.
Marketplaces
We know marketplaces. The proliferation of digital marketplaces is reducing search costs and catalyzing efficiency gains across sectors. As digital adoption accelerates, we see significant white space for continued marketplace ascension in the coming decade.
Healthcare IT
Similar to other high fixed cost legacy industries, much of healthcare services remains in need of advanced technology. We see patient services and shifting payor models as ripe areas.
Fintech
We expect continued disruption of the finance function, including payments, embedded fintech tooling, products serving the CFO suite, and insurtech.
Our value add
Operational
As founders and former operators, we partner with portfolio companies across all core operations: everything from hiring, KPI dashboards, and to go-to-market.
Strategic
The journey of a VC backed company often includes several critical decision points, with implications across product, go-to-market, and operations. We relish the opportunity to partner with you on these choices.
Financial
We are excited to be a data driven partner for all short and long term financial considerations. This includes investment pace/burn, equity, venture debt, and future follow-on fundraises, among others.
When we invest
Early Stage
We believe Series “letters” have become less meaningful over time; however, we expect to invest from the typical Seed through Series B.
Structural Change, Large Markets
The most significant opportunities result from durable trends reshaping the largest industries. We look for evolutions measured in decades.
Exceptional Founders
We look for resilient founders who are true domain experts that have a differentiated understanding of their industry, and will run through walls to make things happen.
