About

Monta Vista Capital is a seed-stage venture capital firm based in Mountain View, California, specializing in early-stage technology companies. Founded in 2014 by Venktesh Shukla, the firm focuses on business-to-business (B2B) startups, particularly those in infrastructure, vertical SaaS, and industries undergoing digital transformation, such as mining and textiles. Monta Vista Capital distinguishes itself by leveraging a network of individual investors, rather than institutional ones, to provide deal sourcing, diligence, and support for portfolio companies.

This approach has led to successful investments in companies like Aviatrix, Cequence Security, and Tekion. The firm has raised a total of $72.8 million across three funds, with the most recent being a $48 million seed fund announced in November 2023.
