Investment Thesis

Saturn Partners believes that entrepreneurs are ultimately responsible for building and growing successful businesses, and the firm’s role is to provide capital, experience, judgment, and connections to help them succeed. Founded in 1994 by Jeff McCormick to finance early-stage growth companies, Saturn operates as a hands-on venture firm that goes beyond just providing capital, actively advising portfolio companies and solving operational problems alongside management teams.

What Sets Them Apart

Entrepreneur-friendly approach with greater autonomy than typical VC firms - described as 'the ultimate entrepreneur-friendly venture firm'
Hands-on operational support through entire team involvement, not just one partner
Willingness to support companies through multiple economic cycles - demonstrated patient, loyal support through recession periods
Deep domain expertise of partners in their focus areas (healthcare technology, fintech, enterprise software)
Accessible across geographies - explicitly states location is not a barrier and being outside typical VC hotspots is 'actually a bonus'
Focus on companies solving 'unmet needs among enterprise customers' using technology to disrupt spaces
