Overton Venture Capital is a woman-led venture capital fund based in New York, focused on investing in early-stage companies with an emphasis on seed and series A rounds. They primarily invest in businesses that demonstrate potential through revenue and market validation, with a keen interest in diverse leadership and balanced teams that mirror their belief in the power of varied backgrounds and perspectives. With investment sizes ranging from $100,000 to $750,000, their sweet spot for investment is around $250,000. Overton Venture Capital specializes in software such as web marketplaces and SaaS, retail and e-commerce, health tech and fitness, the future of work, healthcare and wellness, consumer sectors, and companies with a woman-focus, while actively avoiding hardware, biotech, AR/VR, and marketing software sectors. The fund's thesis revolves around the principle that technology fuels rapid digital transformation which is altering consumer and SMB behaviors and preferences, specifically in the way they discover, shop, and buy. They seek to invest in companies that are positioned to leverage this transformation to reinvent and dominate their sectors. Overton expects to partner with teams that exhibit integrity, fiscal prowess, product differentiation, and competitive advantage, leading to rapid growth and outperformance in the market. They apply an active, hands-on investment approach and draw upon their own operational experiences to provide more than capital to their portfolio companies. This includes filling gaps and amplifying growth through hands-on engagement and leveraging the partners' expertise in several operational areas. Overton's team consists of partners including Kerry Miller, who has a background in management consulting, finance, and talent strategy, and Michael Nogen, a former entrepreneur with a track record in management consulting and corporate strategy.
