By targeting the best opportunities by sector and geography, we’ve strategically partnered with hundreds of world-class technology companies. Our focus is developing deep sector expertise, unique insight and broad-based networks in specific high-growth areas: Emerging Media & Advertising, Vertical Applications & Services, Infrastructure and Data & Analytics.

Emerging Media & Advertising
Clickable. StubHub. Conductor. Live Gamer. Just a few of the names we back that are evolving the way business is done in online advertising, social media and online gaming. We seek out first-of-its-kind technology solutions that capture value from their audiences. By leveraging our strong relationships in the media and advertising world, we help startups find the talent and partnerships they need, ultimately executing strategies that will drive their business.

Vertical Applications & Services
Tectura. Reflexis. Vallent. Duck Creek Technologies. We keep adding names to our growing portfolio of successful application software and technology-enabled service companies. Both businesses and consumers are looking to technological and business model advances to pave the way for lighter-weight, more configurable and increasingly powerful tools that can increase competitiveness, decrease costs and allow access to new products and services. We expect this trend to continue and are excited to help architect the next wave of innovation.

Infrastructure
Netgear. Boomi. COPAN. Netegrity. They’re changing the way business and consumers interact with technology – simplifying, automating and streamlining increasingly complex and diverse computing processes and systems. The landscape continues to grow more complicated as organizations adopt new, more powerful technologies at lower prices while demanding increased visibility, scalability, security and availability. We’re helping to seed the growing trend of disruptive companies in the areas of virtualization, security, communications, storage, wireless and IT management.

Data & Analytics
Outlooksoft. EagleEye. First Advantage. NewRiver. In the information age, it’s companies like these that simplify daily business, creating innovative ways for transactions to take place quickly and securely across multi-industry horizontals. We think it’s critical to invest in data and analytics technologies that enable enterprises to better organize, understand and utilize the data that drives strategy formulation and decision making. It’s the smartest path to creating a competitive advantage for today’s organizations.

 

We're Hiring!

FirstMark Capital is an early stage technology venture capital firm based in NYC.

Our current portfolio consists of over 40 companies, including market leaders such as SecondMarket, Pinterest, Knewton, Lot18, Lumosity, and Shopify to younger, emerging companies like Aereo, Tapad, Jirafe, LollyWollyDoodle, NewsCred, Meteor Entertainment and more. We have been fortunate to work with the incredible entrepreneurs at Riot Games (acquired by Tencent), Boomi (acquired by DELL), and SPADAC (acquired by GeoEye). Select historical investments include Duck Creek Technologies (Acquired by Accenture); Netgear (NASDAQ: NTGR); StubHub (Acquired by eBay); Netegrity (Acquired by CA); OutlookSoft (Acquired by SAP); and Navic Networks (Acquired by Microsoft).
