A New Breed of Venture Capital Fund

Wherever your business sits in the capitalization cycle – seed round, angel funding, venture capital, growth investment or private equity – Thinktiventures is ready to make focused investments of acceleration services that will multiply company valuation and investor returns.

Thinktiventures is the investment arm of Thinktiv. For the right companies in the right markets, with the most compelling opportunities for venture acceleration – we make substantial investments of our expert human capital. Using this approach, we have built an outstanding portfolio of equity holdings in over a dozen companies, including emerging market leaders like Socialware, SharesPost, OtherInbox, Pricelock, and Prysm.

Expertise = Capital.

In early-stage investing, expertise is the new currency. In competitive markets moving at warp speed, investment capital alone isn’t enough to win. Your investors need to be actively removing the obstacles to your success, or they are simply slowing you down. This trend is evident in the rise of value-added incubators and “super angel” investment funds, whose investment dollars are often far less valuable than the mentorship and exposure they provide.

Venture Acceleration Services = Extreme Financial Leverage.

Expert human capital creates leverage for startups – the ability to acquire and grow tremendous equity positions without paying full price up front. When a startup invests $100,000 of capital to forcefully apply the right kind of expertise at the optimal time, that $100,000 can create $1 million or more in asset value. That’s what we call “venture acceleration” – focused investments in expert human capital that create non-linear outcomes. For startups, it makes the best things happen faster, reduces overall capital requirements, and maximizes equity upside potential for management teams and early investors. That is the essence of Thinktiventures.

Thinktiventures = Human Capital Investments.

Thinktiventures is an equity portfolio built exclusively with investments of expert human capital. For the right companies in the right markets, with the most compelling opportunities for venture acceleration – we have taken equity positions in lieu of cash for a portion of expert services rendered. Our current equity portfolio includes over a dozen of these investments, including emerging market leaders like Socialware, SharesPost, OtherInbox, Pricelock, and Prysm.
