What is CMEA Capital?

CMEA Capital, which later rebranded as Presidio Partners, is a venture capital firm that was founded in 1989 with a strong inclination towards investing in life sciences, high technology, and energy and materials. This firm prides itself on backing science-based companies characterized by cutting-edge and highly differentiated technology.

They believe the most successful venture-backed enterprises boast of founding teams that are not only experienced but also envisioned, thus indicating a preference for investing in ventures that have retained their high-caliber founding teams. CMEA Capital's investment philosophy rests on the potential transformational impact these companies might have in their respective industries.

They cater to both early and late-stage science-focused ventures, leveraging an extensive network of corporate, investment, and entrepreneurial relationships to benefit their portfolio companies. Their partners and associates come equipped with substantial expertise in science, engineering, and operations, permitting them to look beyond current technology trends and invest with a vision for future innovations. By applying their focus on advanced science and talented teams, CMEA Capital, now operating as Presidio Partners, seeks to collaborate with entrepreneurs and venture partners dedicated to changing the world, one remarkable company at a time.

The firm has maintained a notable presence with offices in San Francisco and Menlo Park, heavily engaging in the industries of Software, IT & TMT, A.I. & Big Data, and Investment Management, with a specialty in early-stage investments.
