Ulu Ventures provides early-stage investments in enterprise SaaS, smart data, companies.
A seed-stage venture firm focused primarily on enterprise IT, Ulu focuses on the market opportunity created by the Stanford and Silicon Valley communities. Ulu generates financial results using a disciplined, repeatable decision-making process that analyzes
risk-reward trade-offs. Ulu follows logical principles of portfolio construction given its pure-play seed strategy. This approach makes the firm conventional in the world of institutional investors but contrarian as compared to many VCs. Ulu`s goal is to be a top quartile fund consistenly, on a fund over fund basis.
