Profile
Vertical Venture Partners (VVP) is a venture capital firm based in Palo Alto and San Diego, founded in 2014 by David C. Schwab who has a background in engineering, sales, and technology management. The firm consists of a small team of four investing professionals, operating with a unique collective decision-making approach rather than attributing deals to individuals. This collaborative ethos allows them to focus intensely on their areas of expertise and invest deeply in vertical industries. VVP invests in vertical industries such as healthcare, financial services, home services, education, and logistics, with a strong emphasis on AI solutions tailored to specific industry challenges. The firm typically invests during the formation and early growth stages of a company, employing various business models including Vertical AI, Vertical Technology as a Service, and Vertical Deep Tech. They emphasize deep industry knowledge and lived experience in their investment approach. As of now, VVP is investing from its fourth fund, though the total assets under management are not specified. Notable investments by VVP include SOCi - an AI marketing platform for multi-location brands, Mudflap - a fuel discount platform for trucking, and Amira Learning - an AI reading tutor platform for students. These companies highlight VVP's focus on industry-specific technology solutions driven by AI innovation.
