Supporting the start-up and growth of new digital businesses in geo-disruption, media, information, and marketplaces.
The mission of On Grid Ventures LLC is to support the startup and success of GeoDisruptive businesses which leverage GeoLocation as a disruptive force in marketplaces and commerce, digital infrastructure, or information flow.
On Grid Ventures is focused on the global adoption of location-based technologies as a game changer across five investment areas.
1 GeoMarketplaces focused on a well-defined audience of buyers and sellers where location-based technology enables commerce spanning online and offline, such as Uber, AutoTrader, or Cups.
2 GeoMarketing businesses where customer acquisition and retention is dependent on location, such as Yelp, OpenTable or AllTheRooms, both business-to-consumer and business-to-business
3 GeoSocial networks based around location and often other factors like interests, such as Foursquare or Tinder.
4 GeoInfrastructure businesses which facilitate the growth and maturation of location-based businesses, such as Yext, PlaceIQ, xAd, Gimbal, and SocialSign.in.
5 GeoInformation businesses which aggregate and assimilate content and data for a defined geographic area in innovative ways, such as Yelp and EnerKnol.
