WHO WE ARE

XRC Ventures is a multi-strategy venture fund that invests at the intersection of consumer behavior and technology, a $2 trillion market that has been increasingly overlooked by the VC community. Since 2016, XRC has invested in over 140 Pre-Seed through Series A startups across three distinct fund strategies - Accelerator Fund, Opportunity Fund, and Brand Capital Fund.

OUR EVOLUTION

XRC Ventures has gone through numerous iterations since our inception as the XRC Labs accelerator in 2015. From the onset, we brought together a retail and consumer ecosystem of financial leaders, retailers, brands and founders to inform and accelerate the growth of innovative startups. Through those relationships and our over 140 companies invested, XRC Ventures has grown in the number of funds and AUM.

We migrated from a traditional accelerator, which is often characterized as spray-and-pray or fund-and-forget, to a pre-seed investing model that identifies and delivers the bespoke services needed to ensure that the startups achieve their next round of funding effortlessly.

We are actively investing in experienced talent to grow the fund into our next phase. We have learned many lessons, and our most important is that human capital is the most valuable asset. We are prioritizing excellence and people that can hit the ground running from day one. XRC Ventures is a small team, and we give our employees ownership to contribute across the organization in a meaningful way.
