GoldenArc Capital

North America, California, United States, Palo Alto

Description

GoldenArc Capital is a Silicon Valley-based investment firm specializing in VC Growth Equity and Late Stage investments. Established in 2021, the firm focuses on partnering with exceptional entrepreneurs and management teams to build market-leading companies. Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, GoldenArc Capital targets high-growth technology companies that possess proven business models and significant market opportunities.

The firm's investment strategy is centered on providing capital to companies that are beyond the early startup phase, demonstrating established revenue streams and clear paths to scalability. GoldenArc Capital primarily invests across key technology verticals, including enterprise software, cybersecurity, fintech, and digital media. Their approach emphasizes long-term partnerships, aiming to support portfolio companies through their growth trajectories and market expansion.

As a relatively new entrant in the growth equity landscape, GoldenArc Capital's publicly disclosed portfolio is currently limited. A notable investment includes their participation in the $40 million Series B funding round for Tropic, a procurement software company, in May 2022. This investment exemplifies their focus on later-stage companies that have already achieved significant traction and are seeking capital for further expansion.

While GoldenArc Capital does not widely disclose its typical investment amounts, its focus on growth equity and late-stage rounds, coupled with its participation in a significant Series B round like Tropic's, suggests a typical first check size likely ranges from approximately $3 million to $15 million. This range aligns with the capital requirements for high-growth technology companies seeking to scale operations, expand market reach, and accelerate product development in the growth and late stages. The firm positions itself as a strategic partner, leveraging its Silicon Valley roots to support the next generation of technology leaders.
