When we started Signia in 2012, we wanted to build a firm that reflected the type of investors we would have wanted to work with in our entrepreneurial careers. It all began with a simple mission that still holds true today: be the most helpful investor an entrepreneur will ever have. As former entrepreneurs (over a dozen companies which we started/ran ourselves), we know that great investors come in many different shapes and forms. We decided that to be great investors we wanted to focus on where we could help the best, which is in the early stages of a company’s lifecycle (seed and Series A).
