Ruxton Ventures is a seed and early stage venture capital investment firm based in the Greater Washington region

We partner with founders we believe in, and concentrate on investments in the Greater Washington region (Virginia, Maryland and DC), New York and California. We also are limited partners in venture capital funds that share our entrepreneur focus and values. We are highly focused on founders and investments that will make a difference and we roll up our sleeves and approach investing the way that all venture capitalists used to: we are in the trenches with our founders, and value clarity of purpose, thought and ambition. And more than a little bit of humor!

“Ruxton was with me every step of the way. There was no problem too small or challenge to great for them to roll up their sleeves and get things done.”
