Chicago Ventures is proud to announce that we’ve closed $80M across our CV Fund IV and CV Opportunity Fund to continue investing in early-stage startups.
Enduring companies can be built anywhere, by anyone. Over the past 12 years, they’ve proven this belief when leading investments in companies like Sunbit, project44, G2, SpotHero, Aeropay, NOCD and many others (view our full portfolio list here) across CV Funds I, II and III.
The Fund IV strategy is a continuation of what they’ve been doing: we lead early rounds before it’s obvious, and serve as active, operationally involved partners during a company’s earliest days. They’re generalists who’ve spent focused time in the industrial tech sector like supply chain, logistics and warehousing; fintech; and digital health. They lean into industries and geographies that tend to be overlooked by large coastal funds. We’re drawn to exceptional, tenacious founders who have unique insight into the industry they want to transform.
