El Dorado Ventures invests in early-stage companies with disruptive technology and business models in emerging and high-growth markets.

Our team of four General Partners and one Principal works closely with the EDV Tech Partners, a group of more than 50 industry veterans who consult on new investments and provide advice and assistance to our portfolio companies.
