Knoll Ventures

North America, Georgia, United States, Atlanta

Description

Knoll Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm strategically based in Atlanta, Georgia, with a clear focus on the burgeoning B2B technology sector. The firm specializes in identifying and backing promising technology-enabled companies at their nascent stages, specifically prior to their Series A funding rounds. Their investment philosophy centers on providing crucial capital and strategic support to businesses poised for significant growth within the business-to-business landscape. While headquartered in Atlanta, Knoll Ventures maintains a national investment scope, actively seeking opportunities across the United States.

The firm's investment strategy is characterized by its commitment to early-stage engagement, often leading or co-leading initial funding rounds. Knoll Ventures explicitly states its typical initial investment size ranges from $250,000 to $1 million, positioning them as a key partner for companies seeking pre-Series A capital. These investments usually form part of larger funding rounds, which Knoll Ventures typically leads or co-leads, ranging from $1 million to $3 million. This approach allows them to provide substantial early support while also attracting co-investors to complete the round.

Knoll Ventures has demonstrated consistent growth in its funding capacity, having successfully closed two distinct funds. Their first fund, Knoll Ventures Fund I, closed in 2021 with $10 million in committed capital. Building on this momentum, the firm subsequently closed Knoll Ventures Fund II in 2023, which secured $20 million, effectively doubling their deployable capital. This progression underscores their increasing influence and commitment to the early-stage B2B tech ecosystem. With a portfolio that includes over 20 companies, Knoll Ventures actively supports its ventures through their formative stages, aiming to foster innovation and drive market disruption.
