At Apollo Ventures, we invest in bold ideas led by ambitious founders at the earliest stages of company-building. Our thesis is grounded in identifying breakthrough opportunities across sectors shaped by accelerating technological change and global shifts in how industries operate, communicate, and transact.

 

We focus on markets with transformational potential - including CleanTech, FinTech, AI, and next-generation commerce - while remaining sector-agnostic and driven by founder vision. Our experience tells us that many of tomorrow’s most valuable companies will emerge from AI-adjacent verticals like health tech, education, and real estate - areas where technology meets entrenched systems ready for disruption.

 

Geographically, we target 80% of our investments in North America, where our core network and roots run deep, while allocating 20% to emerging markets - where we see asymmetric opportunities, untapped talent, and global growth drivers.

 

Apollo is more than a capital partner - we’re a full-stack platform designed to help founders scale with confidence. We provide:

​

 

• Access to top-tier global VC networks, earned through years of co-investment and syndicate relationships- helping our companies raise smarter, faster, and with the right partners at the table.

• Hands-on strategic support across go-to-market, hiring, product positioning, and board dynamics - focused on inflection points that move the needle.

• An operator-led community of exited founders and seasoned mentors who’ve built, scaled, and sold companies - offering real-time advice with tactical empathy.

• Strategic exit and acquisition planning powered by deep M&A expertise

 

Our goal is simple: back world-class founders early, surround them with real leverage, and help them build companies that endure.
