Claremont Creek Ventures is a seed and early-stage venture capital firm, founded by experienced entrepreneurs to partner with other entrepreneurs in building ambitious, exceptional technology companies.
We invest in digital solutions with the potential to transform essential, broad-impact industries such as healthcare and energy. These large industry sectors have historically been slow to adopt emerging technologies in mobility, big data analytics, edge intelligence and user-centric design. CCV is committed to partnering with a new generation of technology startups creating high-growth, high-margin and capital efficient businesses in these sectors. Our portfolio companies deliver products and services that help these industries enjoy the faster speed-to-market, lower cost structure, greater transparency and creative potential of digitization.
We practice “Lifecycle Venturing” by building active and meaningful relationships with entrepreneurs alongside or even ahead of early-stage funding events. Our preference is to lead the earliest investment round, allowing us to collaborate with entrepreneurs when their business concept is still evolving, their operating model is adaptable, and our capital and operating expertise can be most useful. We then help establish business partnerships and build strong syndicates with premier venture and corporate investors to successfully navigate each phase of growth.
We approach venture investing with an operator's perspective. Our team has decades of management and product experience building high-growth technology companies. This gives us a collaborative mindset that anchors the relationships we build with every entrepreneur in the CCV portfolio.
Claremont Creek Ventures was founded in 2005 by Nat Goldhaber, John Steuart and Randy Hawks to pursue early stage investing in exceptional technology startups.

Given the volume of plans we receive, we find that the best way to begin a dialogue is through a personal introduction – a fellow entrepreneur, angel investor, venture capitalist, attorney or someone we know in common who understands our investment process.
