4490 Ventures is an investment firm that specializes in supporting companies that connect software with proprietary data, analytics, or hardware assets. They believe that in today's world, software alone is not enough. As technology evolves, successful tech companies will increasingly resemble IoT, data, and analytics enabled companies, with software serving as a delivery mechanism.

These unique assets provide a sustainable competitive advantage for companies leveraging the decentralized web and the proliferation of IoT and edge processing. 4490 Ventures goes beyond traditional funding. They are a team of investors, founders, and operators who bring capital, company-building experience, and a network of resources to the table.

They collaborate with ambitious entrepreneurs who dare to challenge the status quo and disrupt traditional markets, categories, and industries. They foster growth, facilitate networking, and expand opportunities. 4490 Ventures seeks to make an impact by investing early in a company's life cycle.

They focus their funding outside of Silicon Valley, targeting tech companies that are closer to industry expertise and end customers. This strategic approach allows for greater capital efficiency and potential for influence. To learn more about 4490 Ventures and their investment criteria, visit their website
