    Differential Ventures invests in early-stage companies that deploy new enterprise solutions to automate, analyze, act-upon and secure the massive amounts of data being created each day. There is a gap in early-stage funding from institutional VCs that can add significant value to startups beyond just capital. Differential is uniquely positioned to be the first check in to a company and help scale our portfolio companies to the next stage of growth. As operators, our partners have been leaders across product, sales, marketing, legal, accounting and finance. As investors, we have deployed nearly $200 million across 6 previous funds, managed over 100 portfolio companies that have realized over $3.5 billion in exit value.
