Investment Criteria —

  • Product/Market Fit & Company Stage

    We look for companies with demonstrated product and market fit and revenue momentum.

    This generally means you have at least $5 million (or more) in annualized revenue and have strong sales efficiency metrics.

  • Check Size & Scope

    We typically invest $10 to $50 million (with flexibility to invest less or up to $100 million) as part of our initial investment. We have substantial additional capacity for follow-on investments.

    We prefer to lead financing rounds in which we initially participate; although we will consider co-investment roles as part of larger fundraises.

  • Ongoing Partnership

    Like us, you are ambitious and passionate about building a great team and product. You are looking for an investor that will play a consistent and collaborative role.

    We prefer to assume board positions and remain actively involved in the companies we fund.

A Team Approach

With Sapphire you get access to more than just an investor, you get a team dedicated to helping entrepreneurs build and scale their companies through a collaborative, agile and efficient approach.
