Established in 2005, Xandex Ventures (legally organized as Xandex Investments LLC) is the wholly owned investment arm of Xandex Inc.
Since 2007, Xandex Ventures has been an early stage and seed investor in Bay Area start ups.
Xandex Ventures is an active member of several Investment Groups and Business Incubators in the San Francisco Bay Area. We work within these groups and conduct independent research to identify potential portfolio companies, complete due diligence and structure deals.
Our goal is to fund, support and nurture dynamic, bright and dedicated individuals and teams with a clear vision,
and great aspiration to realize that vision through hard work, ingenuity and team spirit.
Xandex Ventures is the wholly owned investment arm of Xandex Inc., which was incorporated over 35 years ago, and like most San Francisco Bay Area tech companies, was founded by entrepreneurs. Over the decades of doing business globally, we have striven to be innovative, entrepreneurial, progressive, and ethical in all of our business endeavors. We hope to spread these values as wide and as far as we can with the help of a new generation of entrepreneurs.
We are a seed and early stage investor in emerging fields which we believe improve commerce and promote the well-being of individuals. Specifically we are seeking investment opportunities in mobile digital technology deployment for commerce, entertainment and digital health care; healthy lifestyles and eco-friendly products, and medical devices. Some past investments (and current portfolio companies) include ventures in Bio-Pharma and Renewables, however, we no longer participate in these investment classes.
Our goal is to fund, support and nurture dynamic, bright and dedicated individuals and teams with a clear vision,
and great aspiration to realize that vision through hard work, ingenuity and team spirit.
