Simplify Ventures is the venture arm of Simplify Group, a technology holding company that has been building enterprise technology infrastructure for nearly two decades. Launched in March 2026 and based in Aurora, Illinois, the firm pairs early-stage capital with full operational infrastructure to help B2B founders focus on building.
Simplify Ventures targets B2B SaaS and AI-native platforms, healthcare technology, enterprise infrastructure, AI-powered solutions, vertical SaaS, and fintech. All investments are in companies with less than $5 million in annual revenue at pre-seed or seed stage.
The firm invests globally across North America, EMEA, and APAC, with no geographic restrictions on founder location.
Simplify Ventures launched in March 2026 as an operator-led venture firm backed by the Simplify Group ecosystem. Fund size has not been publicly disclosed. Portfolio companies gain immediate access to embedded operational teams across technology, cybersecurity, finance, legal, HR, go-to-market, and capital strategy.
These are the same systems that power Simplify Healthcare's operations managing billions in premiums and millions of members. Research cited by the firm shows early-stage founders spend 60 to 70 percent of their time on operational tasks. Simplify Ventures is designed to eliminate that friction entirely.
