VIDANT Capital
In todays hyper-competitive startup world, founders need more than capital to build great companies. It takes a partner who has navigated the highs and lows of entrepreneurship and who knows what it takes to win at each stage.
Who we are
VIDANT Capital is an early-stage investment fund focused on backing management teams who are tackling large “white space” and markets that are ripe for disruption.
We understand the entrepreneurial journey because we have experienced it first-hand. At each stage of the process we can support and guide you - from ideation to product-market fit, fundraising, board implementation, first customer acquisition, scaling, and ultimately exiting.
Our specialization and core focus are earlier-stage healthcare technology and services companies; however, we are also actively engaged with several consumer-facing brands we have a strong connection with.
