Over the last 6 months, PAX has made six new investments in promising pre-seed startups. Reflecting our commitment to an industry-agnostic investment approach, these ventures span across Cybersecurity, ClimateTech, RestaurantTech, HealthTech, and Supply Chain sectors. Our portfolio companies are geographically diverse as well, with four based in the Mid-Atlantic region, including New York, Connecticut, Philadelphia, and Virginia, and two originating from Vancouver, Canada. Each of these startups shares common traits: disruptive technology, a stellar founding team, and a clear trajectory toward achieving Product-Market Fit.
Our recent portfolio additions just concluded an intensive sales and go-to-market professional development program. The PAX program involves close collaboration with founding teams to enhance their sales leadership skills and equip them with the tools to establish scalable and repeatable sales processes. The culmination of this program was PAXAPALOOZA, a full-day event held in San Francisco. Our newest founders had the opportunity to network with the extended PAX community and connect with local VCs.
