About

Correlation Ventures is a venture capital firm that specialises in co-investing with other venture firms. We use analytics from an in-house database of venture capital financings and portfolio company returns to assist our investment decisions, and rely on this data instead of intuition in our investment decisions. We provide fast access to capital, making investment decisions in under two weeks, and are very flexible on terms and investment size. Correlation Ventures only invests in private, US-headquartered companies, and we only invest where at least one venture firm co-investing in the round is also making its first investment in the company.
