Night Ventures

North America, California, United States, Los Angeles

Description

Night Ventures is a Los Angeles-based venture capital firm that emerged from Night Media, a prominent talent management company known for representing top digital creators. This unique origin provides Night Ventures with a distinctive edge, allowing it to leverage Night Media's extensive network of influencers and their vast audience reach to support its portfolio companies. The firm primarily invests across consumer, fintech, SaaS, crypto, and health sectors, with a particular emphasis on companies operating within or benefiting from the burgeoning creator economy. Its strategic advantage lies in offering not just capital, but also unparalleled access to distribution channels and marketing expertise through its affiliated creator network.

Since its inception, Night Ventures has demonstrated a clear growth trajectory in its funding capacity. The firm successfully closed its inaugural fund, Night Ventures I, at $20 million in 2021, quickly establishing its presence in the early-stage investment landscape. Building on this momentum, Night Ventures announced its second fund, Night Ventures II, a $30 million vehicle, in 2023, bringing its total assets under management to $50 million. The firm typically targets Seed and Series A stage companies, providing initial checks that range from $250,000 to $1 million, with additional capital reserved for follow-on investments in promising ventures.

Night Ventures' investment thesis is deeply rooted in the belief that creator-driven businesses and technologies enabling the creator economy represent significant future growth opportunities. They seek out innovative startups that can benefit from direct access to large, engaged audiences and the strategic insights of experienced digital talent. This approach allows them to add substantial value beyond traditional venture capital, helping portfolio companies accelerate user acquisition, brand building, and product development by tapping into the power of influencer marketing and community engagement. Their portfolio includes companies like Pearpop, Karat, and Stir, all of which are deeply embedded in the creator ecosystem.

This strategic alignment with Night Media positions Night Ventures as a specialized and highly effective partner for startups looking to capitalize on the evolving digital landscape and the increasing influence of creators. Their ability to provide both financial backing and a powerful distribution network makes them a compelling choice for founders building the next generation of consumer-facing and creator-centric businesses.
