our story

We started Vertex US from a desire to pay it forward

We saw the positive impact of high-conviction and highly present investors when we were building our companies, so we founded Vertex US to do the same.

Our special power is partnering with technical founders to nail the go-to-market and assemble exceptional teams. We’ll share lessons learned from our journeys as company builders and bring curiosity and candor to every step.
  • "I remember meeting Vertex for the first time[...] I instantly felt a bit more comfortable because they were founders, and so I didn't feel like I had to put on a suit and tie and do the investor dance. I felt like I could talk about product, I could talk about the value that we're bringing to our customers and even ask questions, get mentored. I think that was what made me choose Vertex at the end of the day when we had multiple term sheets. There's a lot of money in Silicon Valley, but former founders who've seen the movie once or twice, and then seen it at the scale that the Vertex team has seen it, is very rare. "
    Jerry Ting, cofounder of Evisort (acq. Workday, 2024)
  • "[The] thing that impresses me about Vertex is this: The fact that you're doing all these extra things to amplify the message, amplify the position of the portfolio companies, helping us with recruiting great talent to join our team and connecting us with potential customers that can buy our products. At the end of the day, that's what you want from your investor, right?"
    Dr. Amr Awadallah, co-founder and CEO of Vectara
  • "VVUS believed in us early on and helped us, even before they invested. Their conviction, domain expertise, and customer network helped build our foundations and has scaled us with us as we’ve grown. Working with them has been a wonderful part of our journey"
    Edith Harbaugh, CEO and Co-founder of LaunchDarkly
  • "Not only did VVUS have the conviction for our mission, they had the connections, and the technical expertise to help us build a strong foundation to grow. The team knew about our products and made introductions to their enduring relationships. We’re thankful for their support."
    Rajoshi Ghosh, Co-founder & COO of Hasura
  • "The Vertex Ventures US partners' experiences as operators and empathy for the early-stage sets them apart from many other VCs. Tulip is on a mission to build an industry-changing company that’s here for the long-haul.  As we continue to build a sustainable company I know they’ll support us and will remain great coaches and advisors."
    Natan Linder, Co-founder & CEO of Tulip
  • "Vertex gives us a really clear idea of what operating and leading a scaled company should look like."
    Metaview CEO and Co-founder Siadhal Magos
  • "I have over two decades of experience in Silicon Valley working and funding startups, and I think Vertex has seen quite a bit of things -- and I think that that level of experience is really hard to come by."
    Phillip Liu, CEO of Trustero
  • "What impressed me most in the interactions with Vertex US was, frankly, this clear notion of an operational perspective, understanding what it took to build and run a business."
    HUMAN CEO Stu Solomon
  • "They bring founder energy, they're operators. And, for me that was very important: That I had folks around the table who really understood what it takes to create a category, and to bring hard technology to market. "
    Marc Minor, CEO and co-founder of HighArc
