    Overview

    Founded 1998 in NYC by Steve Brotman, the successful Web 1.0 founder of AdOne, SAVP is entrepreneur centric. SAVP is making early and growth stage investments in its fourth fund.

    SAVP was the among the first institutional investors in two successful IPOs – Live Person and Medidata – and has many profitable exits in its portfolio. SAVP’s investment focus continues to be on East Coast, post-revenue early and growth stage ventures in business software and information services, health care, e-commerce, and new networks enabled by mobile, social and data. SAVP makes a handful of North East, early stage investments per year, mostly as a co-investor. 

    For Early Stage companies we seek post-revenue companies who have found a lead venture investor where we can co-invest anywhere between $25,000 to $1,000,000. We are not currently leading early stage investments. 

    For Growth Stage financings, we can rapidly fill out an “up” round led by a new venture capital source, especially when there are leading early stage investors who already know us.
