About

Commerce Ventures is a San Francisco-based venture capital firm specializing in early-stage investments across the retail and financial services sectors. Founded in 2013, the firm focuses on platforms and infrastructure that enable the digitization of industry incumbents and the creation of new challenger brands. Since its inception, Commerce Ventures has invested in over 100 companies, including notable names like Bill.com, Marqeta, Narvar, Forter, and Socure.

The firm's investment strategy is deeply thematic, concentrating on areas such as Retail Tech, Payment Tech, Insurance Tech, and Banking Tech, collectively referred to as the Commerce Continuum. This approach allows Commerce Ventures to leverage its extensive network of strategic investors, including nine of the largest U.S. banks, two major retailers, three leading global insurers, and several prominent payment platforms, to add value to its portfolio companies.

The firm has successfully closed multiple funds, with its fifth fund exceeding $150 million in committed capital, underscoring its strong position in the venture capital landscape.
