Top 10 Venture Capitalist Websites

Your venture capital firm’s website is often one of the first impressions you have with potential partners. While a web redesign requires a great deal of thought, time, effort, and other resources, it can have an enormous impact in helping your firm stand out.

We’ve designed sites for many private equity and venture capital firms. We love working in this space because the clients who seek us out understand that good design is the core offering of all good businesses — including their own and the ones they nurture. They see great design not as a means to an end, but as an end itself. It goes beyond just “look and feel” to include all the elements of execution including messaging, branding, and content strategy.

Venture capital all is about the bleeding edge of growth. The risk is high but those willing to take the gamble are rewarded. This environment creates rich ground that fuels impactful design.

Here we round up our top 10 best venture capital websites for you to use as inspiration. When you’re ready to learn more, talk to us.

1. Crosscut

Story-based content reminds you that you’re dealing with people

Crosscut is a Santa Monica-based firm with a clean, bright website design. The appealing graphics and diagonal color-blocking to match the Crosscut name are just part of what makes them stand out.

Here’s what else is so great about their website.

Human Elements

With so many venture capital firms on the market, sometimes it’s easy to forget that real people are behind every one of them. Crosscut puts that human focus at the forefront. As you scroll through their homepage, you see photos of people interacting together.

Social Proof

The founders’ section features photos and quotes from other company founders praising Crosscut. Not only does this add to the human elements as described above, but it vouches for Crosscut’s services. So too does its extensive list of partners.

Easy Navigation

Crosscut doesn’t make it hard to get around on their website. They have six menu items: Companies, Team, Approach, Stories, Press, and Contact. Besides Stories–another word for their blog–all are very straightforward.

2. Space Angels

Space-themed branding suitable for the firm’s name

Upon first glance at Space Angel’s website, you might think you’ve stumbled upon a site for an aeronautical company, not a venture capital firm. That’s part of what makes this website such a winner.

Appropriate Theming and Branding

You can’t call your company Space Angels and not brand it as such. Everything is in-tune here, from the background with the comic-like render of space explorers to a menu called Expedition, which is complete with an animation of a spinning earth.

Of course, it’s important to note that Space Angels does deal in space venture capital. A wild branding scheme only works if your company does what the branding implies. Otherwise, you’ll confuse and turn off your customers.

Video Elements

If you’re visiting a website for the first time, would you rather watch an introductory video or poke around aimlessly at the menus? Most people would say the former.

Space Angels has a video front and center on their homepage. It’s not very long, only 1:03, and in it, you can quickly learn about the importance of investing in space.

Conversion Elements

Presumably, after you watch the video, you’ll feel more confident in your decision to work with Space Angels. That’s why the website features an “Apply for membership” button beneath white text asking “Ready to join?”

Even if you’re not quite ready, as you scroll down, the “Learn more” button will tell you all the great reasons why investing in space is such a good idea.

3. Greylock

Why we love: Consistency matters in web design and Greylock’s site has it. From the initial framing to the concise headlines on each page, everything feels like it belongs together. Even the typeface pairing of serif and san-serif is a nice take of blending old and new in a way that is not dated.
