Next Coast Ventures
Next Coast Ventures is an Austin-based venture capital firm founded in 2015 by Mike Smerklo (former CEO of ServiceSource). The firm backs early- and growth-stage technology companies building outside the coastal hubs — its "Next Coast" thesis is that the next wave of venture-scale businesses will be built across Texas and the rest of America. Next Coast invests across consumer, enterprise software, emerging platforms, healthcare, and fintech. Portfolio companies include Aceable, AlertMedia, Dosh (acquired by Cardlytics), Dropoff, Everlywell, ICON, Galileo, Civitas Learning, JumpStart Games, and Vyve Broadband.
