About Us
SPANVentures. was born out of a simple yet powerful question: “Why not?”
Why do only 3% of venture capital dollars go to diverse founders? Why do most venture-backed entrepreneurs come from the same backgrounds, networks, and ecosystems? And why aren’t there more firms committed to rewriting this narrative—providing access to capital for the underestimated founders shaping the future?
At SPANVentures., we don’t just ask these questions—we act on them. As a venture firm focused on investing in pre-seed and seed-stage opportunities across consumer and insurtech, we are committed to backing primarily diverse founders to make the entrepreneurship landscape more equitable. We believe that investing in underrepresented entrepreneurs isn’t just about driving social impact—it’s about unlocking high-potential opportunities that have been historically overlooked.
We invest on a deal-by-deal basis, allowing us to remain flexible, founder-focused, and highly selective in backing exceptional teams with disruptive ideas. By supporting founders at the earliest stages, we lay the groundwork for their Series A success and beyond.
Our thesis is simple: Diverse founders create innovative solutions that drive the economy forward. Through our capital, deep operational expertise, and strong network of investors, we help founders navigate the journey from 0 to 1—and 1 to scale.
SPANVentures. is more than just a capital provider; we’re a platform for change. Through our investments, strategic partnerships, and curated events, we are building a new era of venture—one where access, opportunity, and innovation are available to all.
Because the future of venture isn’t exclusive. It’s inclusive. And we’re here to prove why not.
