Investment thesis
Okta Ventures backs companies focused on modern identity, privacy, and user-centric security, aiming to extend the Okta platform so people and companies can securely connect to any technology. It seeks founders eager to partner long-term with Okta, with products that fit its Okta Integration Network and demonstrate clear market fit. The firm co-invests only alongside a confirmed lead investor, offers portfolio companies access to Okta's APIs, engineering expertise, co-marketing, and specialized bootcamps, and maintains reserves for follow-on rounds. It invests across all startup stages, targeting roughly 10 investments per year, and encourages underrepresented founders to apply.
