Overview

PointSquared Ventures is a private investment firm dedicated to building and growing seed-stage companies in technology, energy, and infrastructure sectors. The firm focuses on backing visionary founders and talented operating partners with exceptional track records in these core markets. PointSquared Ventures employs a dual approach: investing early in pre-seed and seed-stage startups, and forming startups by identifying founders to launch and build impactful products and services.

This patient approach allows them to build value one investment at a time. The firm's founder, Robert Wentz, has a background in technology and energy industries, having previously served as the Executive Chairman of Allegheny Science & Technology (AST), an engineering and technology company supporting mission-critical R&D efforts for the Department of Energy and Intelligence Agencies.

Prior to AST, Mr. Wentz founded Information Research Corporation (IRC), a software development and engineering firm supporting the Department of Defense and NASA. Mr. Wentz holds a degree in Computer and Electrical Engineering from West Virginia University and earned his MBA from the WVU School of Business & Economics.
