Investment thesis

Arba, a family partnership among Dave Pell and his three sisters (the name means 'four'), backs early-stage companies and acts quickly like an angel investor. It frequently co-invests with other small funds and individual investors to seed and grow startups. The group focuses on early-stage opportunities across the Bay Area, New York, Oregon, Seattle, Chicago and beyond, drawing on Pell's experience helping entrepreneurs build startups since the first Internet boom.
