Verizon Ventures
Overview
Verizon Ventures is the corporate venture capital arm of Verizon Communications, established to invest in entrepreneurial companies that drive innovation in Verizon's consumer, business, network, and media sectors. The firm focuses on early-stage technologies that are three to five years from implementation, aiming to complement Verizon's networks, service platforms, and distribution channels. Verizon Ventures has invested in over 100 companies across various industries, technologies, and market segments, including notable investments in FanDuel and AdTheorant. The firm offers support to its portfolio companies with technology and product development, market planning, sales, and access to Verizon's networks and platforms. In September 2024, Verizon Ventures halted new investments and shifted its focus to managing its existing portfolio. The team now consists of three managers overseeing the current investments. Despite this change, Verizon Ventures continues to maintain its presence and support its portfolio companies through its established resources and networks. Please note that while Verizon Ventures has paused new investments, it remains an active entity managing its existing portfolio and supporting its companies through Verizon's extensive resources and networks.
