About Us
Aro is a small, collaborative investment firm based in Austin. Each year we back a handful of early stage companies working to harness deep tech for commercial markets.
We Look For
We invest primarily in cybersecurity, machine learning security and advanced computing but we evaluate deep tech companies across many sectors and technologies.
How We Operate
We invest at the earliest signs of traction, which typically means pre-seed and seed. Historically, we have worked with companies that have already identified reputable lead investors. In addition to capital, we provide portfolio companies with exclusive access to our Platform.
Our Platform
Our Platform connects portfolio companies with real, non-dilutive, cash and actively develops long term relationships with federal customers. We take a data driven approach to building winning government proposals. Our acquisition experts are high touch and hands on, becoming an integral extension of a company’s go-to-market strategy. We are especially strong within our investment verticals and have built accelerated on-ramps in these areas.
