Building a company is never a straight line. At Costanoa, we back a select few who aim to solve big, hard problems. We take the long view on partnership, and our decades of experience, operational expertise, and consistent success enable us to help founders reach their full potential.


We Help You Win
From the earliest days to major milestones, Costanoa is a committed partner through the wins, challenges, and breakthroughs that shape every founder’s journey.

“Costanoa has been part of our team through every phase of company building. Their team really feels like an extension of ours. It's a very different level of engagement than we see from other investors. We can't imagine building Vannevar without them.”
Nini Hamrick
CEO & Co-Founder

“The day you get a signed term sheet from most VCs is the best they will ever treat you. Costanoa has been a wonderful exception. They’ve been even better and more helpful in the years since they first invested in us.”
Danny Shader
CEO & Co-Founder

“Costanoa has been through it all and is completely on your team. They believe in your vision, help you think through the most complicated business challenges, and are very pragmatic about what it takes to get from where we are to where we're trying to go.”
Shannon Goggin
CEO & Co-Founder

“There are patterns when building strong enterprise software companies. Costanoa knows them. Plus they’ve been there every step of the way for us. I think of Greg as a co-founder. Every time I needed input, he’s been my first call. That's the biggest compliment an investor can get.”
