Hi, I'm Pat. I'm an entrepreneur turned investor. I've been starting, scaling, and investing in startups my entire career. I started Active Capital because I love investing in ambitious founders and doing my best to help them reach their potential. I've been working in SaaS and cloud infrastructure for 20+ years and believe the future is brighter than ever. If you're a pre-seed founder building products at the intersection of SaaS, cloud, & AI, please get in touch. We welcome warm intros and cold emails!
About
We live in Texas and invest all over the country.
Active Capital is a venture firm focused on leading pre-seed rounds for AI-powered business software companies. We invest in ambitious founders solving real business problems at the intersection of software, cloud, & AI. We love founders who are willing to stay super scrappy until finding true product market fit. Our initial check size is typically in the $500k-$1M range and we will invest significantly more as companies grow and our relationship develops. We like to invest early and prefer to be a material part of the first $1-2M raised.
