Cervin Ventures

Cervin Ventures is a Palo Alto-based early-stage venture capital firm focused on seed and Series A investments in enterprise software, cloud infrastructure, and SaaS businesses, backing technical founders building the next generation of B2B software platforms for enterprise customers. The firm invests with initial checks from $500,000 to $3 million at the earliest stages of company development, before most institutional capital has entered, and works closely with founders on product development, initial customer acquisition, and Series A preparation. Cervin focuses on companies building at the intersection of data, infrastructure, and enterprise workflow automation, with particular interest in companies that are replacing legacy on-premise software with modern cloud-native alternatives. Portfolio companies include CloudLeaf, an industrial IoT platform providing real-time visibility into asset utilization and supply chain logistics; Lucidea, an information and knowledge management software platform; Sievert Larsen; and Telepath, an enterprise communication and knowledge management platform. Cervin Ventures operates in a competitive market alongside larger enterprise-focused seed vehicles and differentiates through proximity to Silicon Valley's enterprise software talent base and deep technical founder networks.
