non sibi ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests in category-defining U.S.-based technology startups in sectors where it has domain expertise: industrial technologies, AI, and sustainability. The firm applies a value-investing approach to venture — seeking undervalued and overlooked founders and technologies in less obvious markets — with a deliberate focus on underrepresented (BIPOC and women) founders, targeting 67%+ BIPOC or female founders and investing predominantly outside Silicon Valley. As Co-Founder Kent Lucas explains: 'Value investing in public markets is a common and well known approach, but value investing in venture is less common. We are looking for undervalued and overlooked founders and technologies in less obvious markets.' Post-investment, the firm provides hands-on platform support, leveraging its extensive network of operators, advisors, and industry leaders to help portfolio companies scale beyond capital.
Notable quotes
“Value investing in public markets is a common and well known approach, but value investing in venture is less common. We are looking for undervalued and overlooked founders and technologies in less obvious markets.”
“What we're really doing is not for ourselves. If we execute on our strategy, investing in our target markets, people, and technologies, we'll be helping others - which includes generating leading returns for our investors.”
“Our team earned our stripes during the dot.com era and the great recession which adds invaluable perspective. Combined with our value approach to investing, we are very comfortable and enthusiastic about investing in today's challenging climate for startups, and we have a robust pipeline of high quality deals.”
