"PAX was established with a clear mission: to tangibly assist entrepreneurs in achieving success. The profound influence of PAX's sales program and PAX Plexus on our portfolio thus far is a source of pride, embodying the remarkable outcome of our efforts"
-PAX Founder Matt Hanson
Venture Capital
PAX Momentum is a Pre-seed & Seed VC. With a $125k investment in each selected startup, we're more than funders – we're partners. Our investment comprises $100k in cash and $25k in-kind, which covers program fees and PAX perks (Pitchbook, etc). We do not have set terms, and negotiate terms individually with each company selected. Our focus? B2B Software and ClimateTech startups. We look for companies ready to focus on their sales and marketing efforts. This generally means startups with customers, or at least a product ready to sell.
PAX Program
Our program is focused and practical. We work with founders to build a sales playbook, figure out pricing strategy, hire and manage a sales team, discover channel strategy, and establish effective digital marketing.
Geared towards busy founders, our virtual sessions span eight weeks, occurring three times weekly from 4:30-6:30 pm EST. We also host in-person events to help establish relationships and introduce founders to our community of investors.
PAX firmly believes in learning through action, which is why our sessions involve scriptwriting, metric calculations, and skill practice – all readily applicable to your company's operations.
“I’ve done a few sales programs at this point and the big PAX difference is how granular they go. There was never a time I was in a session where I didn’t learn something. That’s rare – a lot of time in other programs I feel like I could just get the information from a podcast or book.” Kamel Greene, Poly Platform CEO
PAX Plexus
"PAX was a huge event for us, it gave us access to a deeper investor ecosystem which we desperately needed at the time. They put us in front of not only investors but also potential partners who we're now integrating with to increase our revenue per user.” Andrew Elliot, RoundlyX CEO
PAX Plexus helps founders access a direct pathway to early-stage VCs and angel investors. Through personalized one-on-one speed meets and ongoing tailored introductions post-graduation, PAX facilitates invaluable connections. We work to pair founders with investors that align with their stage and industry.
Our network of investors have witnessed the remarkable momentum startups gain from our program. Notably, every single PAX portfolio company has engaged in substantive conversations with investors from PAX Plexus, a testament to PAX's impactful investor network and matchmaking.
PAX Community
PAX is not just another entry on your cap table – we're a tight-knit community. We value the bonds we cultivate with founders throughout the program, and the relationship does not end there.
Biannually, we celebrate this spirit with Paxapalooza – an occasion for the PAX community to connect, learn, and eat together.
Most importantly, Paxapalooza hosts investors who are paired with PAX founders in a matched speed-meets event. As a nod to variety, the location of Paxapalooza is rotates around major cities in the US. Locations include DC, NYC, and Chicago.
“If it's important to you to be surrounded by good people, then I cannot recommend PAX more highly.” Dawn Verbrigghe, Jottful CEO
