Profile

Neotribe is led by a team of serial entrepreneurs with a track record of building highly successful companies and investing in bold new ideas. We’re here because we love what we do. Our passion lies in helping founders to usher in the next wave of transformative technology.

A decade ago, tech entrepreneur and author Seth Godin wrote a book called “Tribes,” about the idea that for the first time, the Internet enabled people to form dedicated groups around concepts and beliefs, completely free of geographical boundaries. He talked about the new leaders of tribes as the outliers developing the world’s most audacious ideas. “Heretics are the new leaders,” Godin wrote. “The ones who challenge the status quo, who get out in front of their tribes, who create movements.” Today, Neotribe seeks out and funds such movement creators.

Founded in 2017 by Swaroop ‘Kittu’ Kolluri, Neotribe Ventures is based in the heart of Silicon Valley. We seek entrepreneurs developing breakthrough technologies that stretch the imagination. We value great ideas, as well as a strong commitment and desire to transform businesses and positively impact people’s lives.​

Just as tribes represent small, protective and caring groups, we believe that startups with innovative and aspirational teams thrive if provided the security and backing to be unafraid in the pursuit of new ideas, excellence and success.

We collaborate with our portfolio companies, providing them the full benefit of our experience, relationships and industry affiliations.
