An Outcomes-Oriented Approach to Venture Capital

Every VC firm pledges access to its network and emphasizes a founder-first approach. Aperiam is unique in the adtech and martech industry for the depth of our domain expertise, operational experience, and track record of delivering outcomes for portfolio companies.

Our commitment extends beyond funding

Aperiam is never more than one hop away from the best person in advertising and marketing to solve your problem or propel your growth. Through our Advisory and Ads practices, we not only connect our portfolio companies with the brands, agencies, tech companies, and publishers that need their innovations, but also provide strategic guidance and market insights that few can match. This allows us to help portfolio companies navigate key industry shifts, refine their go-to-market strategies, and forge the right partnerships, ensuring long-term success.

Since 2018, we’ve invested in over 80 adtech and martech companies, helping multiple portfolio startups scale from Seed to Series B and beyond. With more than a dozen successful exits, we’ve backed category-defining leaders in retail media, CTV, identity, creative tech, curation, and AI.

"Aperiam was a key supporter of Audigent as we pioneered the curation category in adtech. Having them as an investor not only provided strategic guidance but also strengthened our position in the market. Their support was instrumental on our journey with key ecosystem partners that were cornerstones to our growth."

Since they invested they have been great in introducing us to various customers and partners."
