AOL Ventures

AOL Ventures was formerly a venture capital arm of AOL, focused on early stage investing in technology-centric consumer internet companies. It was primarily interested in giving talented founders the unfair advantage they need to scale quickly and grow great companies and tended to focus on opportunities where we could bring a blend of our partnership's value mixed with some flavor of parent company involvement. We generally looked to invest in Seed and Series A opportunities and were broadly interested in a variety of themes around AOL's core – content, advertising, local/mapping, paid services and communications.
