Our Model:

Empowered Community

Collinear Capital is built on a community-driven investment model. Our investors (LPs) are consultants, systems integrators, and enterprise technologists who bring deep expertise in B2B enterprise technology and the markets they operate in.

WHAT DRIVES US

Enterprise technology thrives on a critical relationship between three key players:

ENTERPRISE TECH EQUATION

Enterprise Tech Equation

We call this dynamic the Enterprise Tech Equation. It’s a symbiotic relationship where each party depends on the others to succeed. Technology product companies create core innovations (i.e., enabling technologies), but consultants and systems integrators are the ones who customize and implement these technologies for enterprise customers, ensuring real business value. Without both, enterprise customers rarely achieve meaningful outcomes.

Yet, while employees of technology companies benefit from stock options and equity, the consultants and enterprise technologists driving these implementations typically don't see the same financial upside.
We're here to change that.

HOW WE ADD VALUE TO STARTUPS

Our community plays a pivotal role in helping them succeed by focusing on three key areas:
1
TALENT ACQUISITION
Our community knows the best people in the industry and can either recommend key hires or fill roles themselves.
2
PRODUCT AND MARKET ADVICE
As startups scale, they need to break into new markets and develop new features. We form ad-hoc advisory panels of our experts to guide our portfolio companies.
3
PARTNERSHIPS
A major success driver for enterprise startups is integration with consulting and systems integration firms. Our consultants help navigate partnership programs, make introductions, and assist with partnerships.
