Discidium Venture Partners

Discidium Venture Partners

Discidium Venture Partners was formed in 2014 by Michael Rothman and Alex Rothman. The brothers generated the underlying capital through SMS Assist, which they built from 1997 to 2017 and sold via a $2.25 billion proptech merger in early 2023. The firm operates from Chicago and maintains a second address in Austin. DV Partners makes direct co-investments and SPV commitments across PropTech, enterprise software, data analytics and industrial tech. It participates at growth and late-stage rounds. Confirmed holdings include Theron Technology Solutions, Second Avenue Group, Technori, Day 2+ and KingsCrowd. The firm maintains a North American focus with one documented collaboration on infrastructure projects in Europe. Co-investors on prior vehicles have included Goldman Sachs Investment Partners and Pritzker Group. The office lists two managing partners and draws on an external network that includes Technori and Theron Technology Solutions. An additional Austin address appears in records. February 2024 activity included participation in the Scottish Water framework alongside Xylem and RSE. No separate philanthropic vehicles or club memberships beyond Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year recognition for Michael Rothman are disclosed. The structure centers on a hybrid model that combines family capital with an affiliated technology consultancy and accelerator. This setup supplies operating resources and sourcing channels that sit inside the same ownership group as the investment vehicle.
