About Constantin Partners

Founded by Julie and Andrew Constantin in 1997, Constantin Partners brings nearly 30 years of experience investing in seed and early-stage technology to bear. Constantin Partners focuses primarily on seed-stage software and internet infrastructure companies. We are typically the first institutional money into a company - either with or immediately after the friends-and-family round. We continue to back our companies, following through the life of the company.

Over the past 10 years of investing, our portfolio has included such companies as Bazaarvoice, Tripwire Security Systems, EzRez Software, Coremetrics, Experience Project, and Garage Technology Ventures.

For early-stage companies, it is vital to make the distinction between a compelling vision and a sound strategic plan. Too often, companies take on a large tranche of capital in the early stage, forcing the company to grow before the business model is really set. We work with our companies to build the sound plan to ensure our companies can then truly benefit from later-stage capital designed to fuel growth. 

A key component of Constantin’s approach is to perform a “360 due diligence.” Given the inherent uncertainties in launching new businesses, improving the likelihood of success requires bringing more than just money to the table. We invest in companies where we feel we have the right set of contacts and/or skills to fill in the gaps needed to help company reach the growth stage. 

We bring substantial personal entrepreneurial experience coupled with Fortune 500 best practices to ensure our companies receive the strategic and operational support necessary to succeed.
