Why We Are Different

.406’s Maria Cirino

We are working hard to make .406 a different type of venture capital firm.

Here’s how we believe we’re unique:

  • We offer entrepreneurs the right amount of capital to
    grow their business.

    We believe that capital-efficient business models fuel the most
    successful companies.

  • We leverage our deep operational and entrepreneurial expertise.

    Our team has over nine decades of combined entrepreneurial, senior operating and venture investing experience in early stage technology companies. We have started, built, scaled, operated, IPO’d and sold companies. The aggregate value created through these efforts is over $4 billion.

  • We are passionate about what we do and aligned in achieving excellence.

    We love working with talented entrepreneurs and helping them build their companies and are driving hard to make .406 a unique and industry leading venture franchise. This starts by investing in great companies and assisting them in becoming extraordinarily successful.

  • We believe that good partnerships are key to good results.

    In our view, it starts by being fair to founders. We work to achieve a balance of being an exceptionally strong advocate and a constructive sounding board. We are committed to direct, open and honest communications not only with our entrepreneurs, but with our investors and business partners.

.406 Vision and Value

Passionate and knowledgeable, we aspire to be the type of investors we sought to have around our own boards when we were building our companies.

We offer our management teams our collective insights and operational expertise to support their efforts to build great companies.
