Key people at Mosley Ventures.
Mosley Ventures is a venture capital fund headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, that specializes in early-stage technology investments across the Southeast United States.[1][2] The firm operates with a distinctive "for entrepreneur" philosophy, emphasizing investment in people and founders rather than purely financial metrics.[2][3] Mosley Ventures focuses on four primary sectors: security software, mobility and wireless, big data and analytics, and healthcare IT, with particular interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning applications.[1][2] The firm has deployed capital across pre-seed, seed, and Series A stages, maintaining a hands-on approach that combines strategic guidance, operational support, and access to a robust regional network to help portfolio companies scale effectively.[1][2]
The firm's impact on the Southeast startup ecosystem has been substantial. Managing Partner Sig Mosley has been the region's most prolific investor since 1990, backing 120 startups with 82 liquidity events, establishing a track record of successful exits that has helped nurture the growth of notable technology companies in the region.[3][4]
Mosley Ventures was founded in 2013, though its roots trace back much further through Sig Mosley's investment career.[1][3] Sig Mosley has been actively investing in Southeast startups since 1990, giving him over three decades of experience in identifying and developing early-stage technology companies.[3][4] His most notable achievement came with the $5.7 billion acquisition of TradeX Technologies by SAP Ariba—the largest Southeast venture deal on record—which demonstrated his ability to identify transformational opportunities in the region.[3][4]
The founding of Mosley Ventures as a formal fund represented a crystallization of Mosley's investment philosophy and network into an institutional vehicle. Rather than starting from scratch, the firm built upon decades of relationships, domain expertise, and a proven track record of value creation in the Southeast technology ecosystem.[5]
Mosley Ventures distinguishes itself through its explicit focus on investing in entrepreneurs and their vision rather than purely in business metrics.[2][3] The firm practices what it calls a "high-touch discipline" to develop entrepreneurial talent, with value creation beginning before capital deployment.[2] This approach reflects Sig Mosley's belief that enabling founders to build their visions into successful companies is the foundation of venture returns.
Operating from Atlanta with a focus on the Southeast, the firm has cultivated unparalleled relationships and market knowledge in the region.[2][3] Sig Mosley's three-decade track record of 120 investments with 82 liquidity events provides both credibility and practical insights into what works in the Southeast market. This regional specialization allows the firm to move quickly on opportunities and provide localized operational guidance that generalist firms cannot match.
Rather than imposing top-down investment theses, Mosley Ventures analyzes and validates market demand through collaborative efforts with founders, weighing heavily on founder domain expertise and vision.[2] This collaborative approach reduces information asymmetry and increases the likelihood of backing founders with genuine market insight.
The firm has achieved 26 investments with 5 portfolio exits, demonstrating consistent ability to identify and nurture companies through to successful liquidity events.[3] This track record provides confidence to both limited partners and portfolio companies that the firm understands the path to scale and exit.
Mosley Ventures occupies a critical position in the Southeast's emergence as a meaningful technology hub. While coastal venture capital has historically concentrated in Silicon Valley and Boston, the Southeast has developed into a growing center for technology innovation, particularly in security, healthcare IT, and data analytics.[2][3] The firm's focus on these sectors aligns with genuine market demand and regional strengths.
The firm's emphasis on early-stage investment—pre-seed through Series A—positions it at the critical juncture where ideas become companies. By providing not just capital but operational mentorship and network access, Mosley Ventures helps de-risk the earliest stages of company formation, a function that is essential for ecosystem health. The firm's success in this role has helped validate the Southeast as a viable alternative to traditional venture capitals hubs, potentially attracting additional institutional capital to the region.
Additionally, Mosley Ventures' focus on security software, healthcare IT, and big data reflects secular trends in enterprise technology spending. These sectors have proven resilient and continue to attract customer investment regardless of macroeconomic cycles, suggesting the firm's thesis has enduring relevance.
Mosley Ventures represents a model of regional venture capital excellence—deep expertise, founder alignment, and a proven track record concentrated in a specific geography. As the firm has noted, it is not raising additional capital and has fully deployed its current fund, instead focusing on supporting existing portfolio companies through to exit.[5]
Looking forward, the firm's influence will likely be measured through the success of its current portfolio rather than through rapid fund expansion. This measured approach reflects confidence in the quality of existing investments and a commitment to seeing companies through to meaningful outcomes. The broader trend of venture capital decentralization—with more capital flowing to regional hubs and away from traditional coastal centers—works in Mosley Ventures' favor, as institutional investors increasingly recognize the value of established regional players with deep networks and proven judgment.
For entrepreneurs in the Southeast building companies in security, healthcare IT, data analytics, or AI/ML, Mosley Ventures remains one of the most credible early-stage capital sources in the region, backed by a managing partner whose track record speaks for itself.
