Investment thesis

Alerion Ventures is an evergreen fund targeting roughly one new investment per quarter in capital-efficient companies pursuing large, scalable markets. It favors business-to-business software and technology-enabled services, and more selectively healthcare software and services and energy-efficient technologies, while avoiding consumer-facing businesses, drug discovery, medical devices, energy production, and project finance. It typically invests once a company shows initial market and revenue traction beyond proof-of-concept, though it may also pursue growth-stage deals with nearer-term exit potential. The firm prefers co-investing with other experienced venture investors and favors companies headquartered in the Southeast, considering opportunities nationally apart from the West Coast and Northeast.
