Investing in category-defining companies.

322 Ventures is a private investment platform deploying capital into venture, growth, and select alternative opportunities. We partner with operators and investors with unique access to opportunities, building a concentrated portfolio of high-conviction investments.

— Areas of focus

Three lanes.
One discipline.

We deploy across three strategies — each governed by the same standard: concentration, conviction, and a clear path to category leadership.

01

Early-Stage Venture

High-conviction positions in technology, infrastructure, and emerging industries — backing operators building the categories that will define the next decade.

02

Growth-Stage Venture

Capital and partnership for scaled businesses with durable fundamentals, expanding leverage in markets where they already lead.

03

Co-Investment & Syndications

Selective access to differentiated opportunities — sourced, structured, and shared with a network of aligned operators and investors.

— Approach

Capital that
runs deep.

Patient capital, deployed with conviction. Structured by relationships, not by auction. We build with founders and operators the way we'd want to be built with.

Concentration
Few positions. High conviction. We do not spray.
Proprietary access
Deal flow earned through relationships, not auctions.
Operator alignment
We invest with, and beside, the people building.
Patient capital
Time horizons measured in cycles, not quarters.
— Team

High conviction.
Unusual access.

Founding partners with proprietary deal flow and the discipline to concentrate behind the businesses we believe in.
