Lewis & Clark Ventures partners with visionary founders to build iconic B2B software companies. The firm is founded by former founders and operators who have built venture-backed companies and navigated the path from idea to exit multiple times. Their approach emphasizes identifying inflection points where founders can unleash their potential—when systems, controls, customers, and product/market fit are in place—and then providing structure, processes, and networks to accelerate growth. They believe in smart growth built on strong fundamentals rather than growth at all costs, and are intentional about making impact by tackling socio-economic issues through sustainable businesses that create quality jobs.
What Sets Them Apart

- Focus on overlooked geographies: specifically seek to fund companies in regions beyond coastal venture hubs
- Values-aligned partnerships: committed to transparent, candid communication and moral alignment with founders
- Operational support: provide structure, processes, and guardrails based on lived experience, not just capital
- Network access: leverage established networks to accelerate customer acquisition, financing, and growth
- Hands-on approach: serve as true operational partners rather than passive investors
