About Us

An entrepreneurial family office

Greater Sum Ventures

… is an entrepreneurial family office and business optimization consulting firm. We invest our own capital in middle market software and tech-enabled services companies.

With entrepreneurial roots and proven operational and investing experience, GSV works alongside select independent co-investing partners and other institutional managers to build platforms of technology companies that revolutionize the industries they serve.

GSV provides operational support and access to capital to midmarket tech firms all over the world. With more than 250 investments (and counting!) since 2015, GSV is a unique, rapidly expanding growth equity firm run by experienced entrepreneurs, not Harvard MBAs.

Through a differentiated strategy, we help founder-led organizations take the next step in their evolution. Our hands-on, collaborative approach brings custom resources to the table, enabling dynamic teams to achieve their objectives and drive business forward. From product help and marketing know-how to HR assistance and financial guidance, our operating partners pull levers that make positive impact.

GSV-backed SaaS platforms enjoy access to operational expertise, as well as new opportunities to scale organically and through add-on acquisitions. Guided by a unique perspective and playbook, GSV adds exceptional value to its growing portfolio.

The GSV HQ

We love Knoxville for many reasons – from its laid back charm to its thriving economic climate. The area boasts both a family-friendly and a business-friendly environment. Knoxville has managed to retain a small-town vibe in spite of its many amenities that are typically associated with big city living. Known for its Southern hospitality, mild weather, and abundant outdoor recreation, East Tennessee continues to climb lists as a most desirable and affordable place to live and work.
