2017 - Current
We're looking for the rebels. We like defying the crowd, following our instincts, and proving them wrong. We love if you do too. REMUS is a VC firm that leads Seed, Series A, and early Series B rounds in technology companies. We invest primarily in enterprise technology in large traditional verticals, writing checks between $100K to $15M. We have a concentrated investment approach and focus on building, not betting. We admire people who think really big. Those who want to craft legendary, contrarian companies that can be worth $5B or more. We are patient, with youth and experience on our side.
REMUS is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests in companies enabling digital transformation.
