Company Ventures: Investing in the Future of Technology

Company Ventures is a NYC-based venture capital firm that invests in new technology-driven businesses at the earliest stages. Every day, we endeavor to deliver on the promise of an exceptional venture community: an environment that adeptly combines capital, community, and place. Over the last decade we've witnessed time and again how this platform has proven instrumental to the creation of category defining businesses.

Investment Focus

As first check investors we back people. We invest across industries with a specialty in healthcare, fintech and enterprise software. We work to identify uniquely qualified founders and help position them to win. We invest in idea through seed stage companies focused on data interoperability and AI.

Healthcare Fintech

Reposting Terrarium’s excellent Healthcare Fintech white paper, required reading for anyone building at the intersection of healthcare, payments and financial infrastructure. For founders obsessed with fixing these gaps, this is true greenfield territory. If you’re thinking about how to rebuild the financial backbone of healthcare, we want to hear from you.

That question led to months of deep research - mapping payment flows, understanding stakeholder incentives, shadowing billing teams, and speaking with dozens of healthcare executives, founders, and investors. What we found was a massive system built for a different era finally on the brink of change. GDP (about $15,000 in annual spend per American), still runs on outdated legacy technology and workflows.

Together, these forces are reshaping a decades-old financial system and opening up a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reinvent how money moves in healthcare. This is where fintech meets the future of healthcare.

AI Innovation

Today, we're thrilled to introduce the Fall 2025 Grand Central Tech Cohort-a remarkable group of founders and early-stage companies representing the full breadth of AI innovation in NYC today. Some are building foundational AI capabilities and infrastructure, while others are deploying AI to transform established industries-from insurance and franchising to manufacturing and healthcare. For over a decade, Grand Central Tech has been home to more than 400 founders building the next generation of tech companies. Human-first. AI-accelerated.

A year ago, Xavier, Josep, and I started trading notes on how their expertise in AI and call center operations could translate into healthcare. Every year, hundreds of millions of calls move between patients, providers, and payers-slowing down care, creating friction in reimbursement, and frustrating everyone involved. Today, Josep and I are thrilled to share Prosper AI's $5M seed round to become the leading voice AI platform for healthcare organizations. Prosper is the hub for automating healthcare calls. And this is only the beginning!

Through this program we work with founders on all aspects of early stage company-building (including recruitment, milestone development, core product definition, and GTM) dynamic to their needs.
