About Venture First

Venture First is structured a bit differently than other finance shops, leveraging two separate groups to drive superior combined results. Our Alternative Investments group manages $200M across three strategies: “flyover” venture capital; specialty structured credit; and digital transformation private equity. Our Financial Services group, comprised of M&A Advisory, Valuation and CFO Services, helps our investments – and the investments of our friends – grow, raise capital, accelerate, and, eventually, exit. Though these groups are separate operationally, when combined, they deliver superior results.

“My time at Venture First was truly rewarding. From the moment I joined, I found the group to be incredibly inviting as a minority, and it was a collaborative and supportive atmosphere that made every day enjoyable as a finance enthusiast. Working with a company that provides capital and financial services to growth-focused businesses was an enlightening experience. Venture First's three funds and specialized vehicles opened up first rate opportunities in the realm of transactions, CFO services, valuation, accounting, research, and analytics. If any of this is interesting to you, Venture first is a great place for you.

The camaraderie and sense of teamwork were exceptional. Whether collaborating on projects or seeking advice, I always felt supported by my colleagues. This sense of unity and shared purpose made my time at Venture First not just professionally enriching but also personally fulfilling. In conclusion, my experience at Venture First was marked by an inviting group of colleagues, a wealth of learning opportunities, and a warm sense of community. It's an organization that not only provides top-notch financial services but also nurtures a fantastic work environment. My time there was filled with great experiences that I'll always treasure.”
