Qualified Investors in Northern VA
I know, I know–this post has a really lame title. I had wanted to call it VC’s which actively invest in the DC metro area but I’ve included angels in this list as well. I’ve tried to be as thorough as possible, but this research was done several months ago when I was looking for a new job and desperately wanted to work at a startup. Unfortunately, I was not willing to relocate and the number of startups in Northern VA whose domains overlap with my interests and skills is rather low. So, without any further ado, here’s the list in no particular order:
- In-Q-Tel (VC fund, funded by the intelligence community)
- Walker Ventures
- Anthem Capital Management
- New Enterprise Associates
- Novak Biddle
- Paladin Capital Group
- Trident Capital
- SAS Investors
- Omidyar Network (Pierre & Pam Omidyar of eBay)
- RedShift Ventures
- Longworth Venture Partners
- Core Capital Partners
- Grotech Capital Group
- Blue Water Capital
- Mid-Atlantic Venture Funds
- Boulder Ventures (Primarily a Colorado investor, but also does deals in the mid-atlantic)
- Carlyle Group
- Inflection Point Ventures
- North Hill Ventures
- ABS Capital Partners
- Draper Atlantic
- Lazard Technology Partners
- Intersouth Partners
- Monumental Venture Partners
- ACON Ventures (an affiliate of Texas Pacific Group Ventures)
- Edison Venture Fund
- Ecentury Capital Partners
- Columbia Capital
- Telecom Development Fund
- Grosvenor Funds
- Friedli Corporate Finance
- Liquid Capital Group
- Valhalla Partners
- CrossHill Financial Group
- Washington Dinner Club (angel investors)
- New Vantage Group
- BlueRun Ventures
- Aurora Funds
- Avansis Ventures
- BCE Capital
- Opus8
- Intel Capital (Intel’s VC arm, usually providers later stage funding).
If you know of any more VCs/Angels in our area, please leave comments. Also if you have opinions on any of these VCs, I’d be interested to hear those as well. I’ve only dealt indirectly with two of the VCs from this list.

[...] Paul Graham has an interesting piece up at Y Combinator entitled The Top Internet VC Firms. This provides a bit more insight into some of the VC’s I mentioned in my previous post (many are definitely not top tier VCs–though I think this was obvious before). [...]
