We are most likely to invest in startups that meet the following criteria: STAGE: Decima Ventures invests in early stage companies- with investment size of anything between $50K and $4mm. For our portfolio companies, we also fund expansion rounds. Typically, we provide the first outside money that a company raises. While we invest in companies pre-revenue, we do expect our investments to have a proven proof of concept or the ability to show some traction. DOMAIN: While we may consider a broad range of high-tech and internet companies, we prefer to invest in companies in the areas where we have developed domain expertise. These areas include cyber-security, social networking, messaging, and video. GEOGRAPHY: In order to provide our portfolio companies an on-going support and unlimited access to our resources and people, we prefer to invest in ventures that are headquartered in the markets where we have a year-round physical presence- namely the US and Israel. PEOPLE: Lastly- and most importantly we fund companies, but we invest in people. People are the single most important criterion for our investment decision. We look for passionate, committed, bright teams with relevant experience and a proven track record.
