Aperiam Ventures is the leading adtech and martech venture capital firm, investing in early-stage companies at the intersection of digital advertising, marketing technology, and AI. Since 2018, the firm has backed over 80 adtech and martech startups — from Pre-seed through Series B and beyond — focusing on category-defining leaders in retail media, CTV, identity, creative tech, data curation, and AI. Aperiam differentiates itself through unmatched domain expertise and operational experience: its founding team built and scaled companies like MediaMath and Undertone, and the firm is 'never more than one hop away from the best person in advertising and marketing to solve your problem or propel your growth.' Beyond capital, Aperiam offers a strategic advisory practice and an 'orchestration layer' that connects portfolio companies with brands, agencies, media owners, and tech platforms, helping founders navigate key industry shifts, refine go-to-market strategies, and forge the right partnerships for long-term success.
Notable quotes
“We're still a sector-focused fund for advertising and marketing technology. But we feel like we have an opportunity to do something bigger, something that will allow us to be more helpful to our portfolio companies.”
“Our portfolio companies need exposure for their very specialized solutions, but it's not always easy for them to get in front of the right people. We can help them do that.”
“Aperiam is insanely easy to work with – and by that I mean the check is wired the same day they agree to invest – alongside deep industry expertise in ad tech, with the network to match. Most VCs would be happy to have one of these characteristics. If you have a chance to put Aperiam on your cap table, do it.”
