CHICAGO, April 16, 2024 ~ Moderne Ventures, a strategic venture capital and growth equity firm, has announced the selection of eleven companies for its exclusive Passport industry immersion program. The program, which runs for six months, aims to provide education, exposure, insight, and relationships to drive customer growth for technology companies in and around the industries of real estate, finance, insurance and sustainability.
Founder and Managing Partner at Moderne Ventures, Constance Freedman, shared that the company takes a generalist approach to vertical investing by looking outside of their core industries for technologies that can be applicable within them. This latest Passport cohort includes technology innovators in areas such as predictive analytics, artificial intelligence, sustainability, government policy, pet insurance and last-mile delivery. Freedman expressed excitement about helping these companies gain exposure and grow their customer base within Moderne's industries.
The selected companies range from seed to Series C stages and have collectively raised over $678 million in funding with a total valuation of $1.3 billion to date. The eleven companies chosen for the Spring Passport Class are Abodu (abodu.com), Acreto (acreto.io), Companion Protect (companionprotect.com), Dimension (getdimension.com), FluidLytix (fluidlytix.com), Polco (polco.us), Proof (proof.com), Public Grid (onepublicgrid.com), Qloo (qloo.com), RealSage (realsage.com) and The Rounds (therounds.co).
