Allos Ventures is an Indianapolis-based early-stage venture capital firm focused on powering the growth of high-potential B2B software and tech-enabled services companies in the heart of the Midwest. The firm invests within roughly a five-hour drive of its Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and Chicago offices, enabling the hands-on, face-to-face engagement it believes is critical to founder success. Allos acts exclusively as a lead investor — delivering term sheets, building investor syndicates, and drawing on 50+ years of combined experience to help entrepreneurs navigate the challenges of scaling a high-growth technology company. The firm targets companies that have moved beyond the pilot stage with an existing product and early revenue, and it maintains a concentrated portfolio of approximately 12 companies per fund to maximize the depth of support it can provide.
Notable quotes
“The need for early-stage capital in Indiana and the greater Midwest continues to grow as highly talented founders launch and build innovative and disruptive technology companies. We are most thankful for the continued support of our long-time investors as well as the addition of investors new to Allos and look forward to helping entrepreneurs build the next generation of high value enterprises.”
“Working with the team at Allos through my time with Octiv gave me a glimpse into the major impact the firm continues to make in Midwest tech. By partnering with SaaS leaders from our portfolio companies and working to broaden investments to newly maturing tech markets throughout Indiana and the Midwest, my goal is to help expand that ripple effect.”
“To have someone of David's caliber joining the firm is momentous. His depth of leadership experience building startup and mature software companies will be of enormous value to us and the companies in which we invest.”
