Investment thesis
MadDog Ventures backs companies that create or reshape significant industry segments through software-enabled business models, with a particular emphasis on cloud-based business applications. Beyond capital, the firm provides deep operating expertise that extends past executive leadership support to include hands-on help with application development, sales, finance, marketing and administration. Its general partners leverage an extensive network of technology executives and entrepreneurs across the United States, and a notably deep Michigan network, to source deal flow. Opportunities come through MadDog Technology startups it helps originate, joint ventures aimed at expanding markets and accelerating growth, and existing early-stage startups seeking to progress to the next level.
