A venture capital firm that provides patient capital, true resources, and aims for big impacts.

S3 Ventures

Based in Austin for 17+ years, S3 Ventures is the largest venture capital firm focused on Texas.  We empower visionary founders with the patient capital and true resources required to grow extraordinary, high-impact companies in Business Technology, Digital Experiences, and Healthcare Technology.   We lead Seed, Series A, and Series B investments ranging from $500K to $10M with the capacity to invest $20M+ over the life of a company.   With $900M+ in assets under management, our 50+ investments have raised nearly $2 billion in financing and 20+ to-date have exited.  Since our inception, we have been backed by single philanthropic family with a multi-billion-dollar foundation.  With this sole-LP structure, we are undistracted by fundraising and unencumbered by many of the constraints faced by traditional VC firms — better aligning us with the needs of  founders.
