Silverton Partners

Early-stage venture capital from Austin

Based in Austin, Texas, Silverton Partners invests at the early stage. It calls itself an early-stage investor and a long-term partner, and it says it invests where technology can build significant barriers over time. The firm sums up its method as teaming up with bold founders who want to break the mold, investing where it can add value, and building trust inside its teams.

Track record in numbers

The site shows that Silverton has made investments in more than 75 companies, with over 30 acquisitions and four public listings among them. It reports having raised seven funds. It describes itself as the most active venture capital firm in Texas, which is its own claim.

Who it is for

Technology founders at an early stage, particularly in Texas, who want a patient investor with experience of acquisitions and public offerings.
