Flume Ventures

Flume Ventures is an operator-led venture capital firm founded in 2023 and headquartered in Incline Village, Nevada. Built by entrepreneurs—including figures behind Workday and Sun Microsystems—it positions itself as a hands-on partner offering mentorship, strategic guidance, and network access rather than a conventional portfolio investor. Flume invests in U.S.-based technology startups, with concentration in business/productivity software, enterprise/B2B, semiconductors, and food/ag tech. It backs companies from Seed through later growth stages; named "partners" include 1Password, Positron, GrubMarket, Parasail, Orderful, and Rize Education. The firm is deploying from Flume Ventures I, domiciled in Nevada—though specific fund size and per-check amounts are not publicly disclosed. Founders seeking deep operator support, a U.S. (Nevada-rooted) footprint, and an enterprise/technology thesis are the strongest fit. Contact: hello@flume.ventures.
