Pareto Partners invests in seed and early-stage companies that have the vision and ideas to create new products and services for the Internet. But our investment and involvement goes much deeper than just capital. That’s because we’re committed to working closely with the entrepreneurial talents and founders of the companies we finance—helping to develop strategic direction, define the market, assist with management decisions, and much more.

Our business philosophy is closely linked to that of the man who inspired our company name—19th-century Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto. His "Pareto Optimal" principle maintains that, in order for a business transaction to truly realize its optimum potential, every party involved in the transaction must either improve or maintain its position.

Most people today would recognize this as a classic "win-win" situation. At Pareto Partners, it’s a principle that guides everything we do in our efforts to help early-stage Internet companies grow and prosper.
