Swift Ventures

Swift Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm led by a team of former entrepreneurs who have built and scaled companies together since 2006, including experience through IPOs and acquisitions. The firm focuses on backing companies working in AI and automation with business-to-business models, typically looking for founders with an early, compelling product. It describes its approach as low-ego and hands-on, aiming to offer founders practical, in-the-trenches support rather than acting purely as a source of capital. Among the outcomes the firm highlights is the acquisition of portfolio company Arize AI by Dynatrace. Its general partners include Brett Wilson and John Hughes. The firm describes itself as new but built on a team that has worked together since 2006, framing its role as offering founders company-building expertise from people who have been through every stage of growth themselves rather than acting only as a source of funding.
