Why we invest

Enterprise software has evolved from the early days of SaaS to services and applications that enhance enterprise operations by leveraging unprecedented amounts of data, enhanced AI, and innovative workflows. Enterprise apps are built on cloud infrastructure, the new data stack, and advanced analytics. Madrona has nearly three decades of experience backing founders and visionaries who combine deep insight into customer pain points with innovative approaches and architectures. We have helped many founders build their enterprise software companies from day one to billions in corporate value and believe that compelling opportunities to reinvent commercial workflows are abundant.
