Ubiquity Ventures

Profile

Ubiquity Ventures is a seed-stage institutional venture capital firm based in California, established by Sunil Nagaraj, a former partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. The firm invests in "software beyond the screen" startups, which are B2B technology companies applying AI and software to solve physical world problems. Ubiquity manages approximately $200 million across three funds, focusing on early-stage investments and distinguished by its "nerdy and early" approach, often funding companies pre-incorporation.

Ubiquity Ventures primarily invests in smart hardware, machine learning applications, and platforms that enable software to enter the physical world. They look for startup opportunities that bring agile software solutions to industry segments traditionally lacking such technology. With investments that often fall within the $0-1 million range, the firm targets mainly North American markets but is also open to global opportunities.

Notable investments by Ubiquity Ventures include BusRight - school bus transit modernization, Diligent Robotics - autonomous hospital robots, Rocket Lab - advanced aerospace manufacturer, Auth0 - identity management for applications, and Zapier - workflow automation. These investments highlight the firm’s focus on real-world software applications and its success in scaling early-stage companies to significant market caps.
