Dig Ventures
Ross Mason established Dig Ventures after founding and exiting MuleSoft. The office manages capital from that transaction and invests at the earliest stages of B2B software companies. The strategy centers on pre-seed and seed rounds in enterprise software, AI/ML, and related infrastructure. Investments take the form of direct checks into startups rather than fund commitments. Confirmed holdings include companies building AI agents, data platforms, and observability tools. Activity spans Europe with additional exposure in North America and the Middle East. The core team includes four partners and supporting investment and operations staff. A second office presence is not disclosed. In the last 24 months the firm closed its $100 million Fund II. Adjacent vehicles such as a dedicated real-estate portfolio exist but remain separate from the venture book. The structure combines family capital with a small external LP base that includes Datadog founder Olivier Pomel. This hybrid allows the office to write checks quickly while retaining full control over deployment pace and governance.
