Fun tagline:
Ubiquity Ventures is a "nerdy and early" venture capital firm investing in "software beyond the screen".

Description:
Ubiquity Ventures is a seed-stage institutional venture capital firm with approximately $200 million under management across three funds. Ubiquity follows a “nerdy and early” approach to investing: backing founders at the very start, often pre-incorporation, building software that reaches into the real world. In a screen-obsessed world, we focus on "software beyond the screen" startups, which include B2B technology companies that apply AI and software to physical problems and systems that you can touch, hear, and feel. By transforming these challenges into the domain of software, Ubiquity-backed startups tap into large greenfield markets and offer more effective solutions. Leveraging 15 years of institutional venture capital experience, Sunil Nagaraj leads Ubiquity Ventures along with an extended team of over 50 experts with a range of technical and marketing expertise.
