Perot Jain
Perot Jain is the Dallas early‑stage venture firm Ross Perot Jr. and Anurag Jain founded in 2014, backing over 70 startups from patient family capital.
Perot Jain
Perot Jain launched in 2014 when Ross Perot Jr. and Anurag Jain, longtime business partners, chose to deploy their combined operating and investing experience into early‑stage venture. Perot built Hillwood, the developer behind the 27,000‑acre AllianceTexas complex, and helped run Perot Systems until its 2009 sale to Dell. Jain founded Access Healthcare, a revenue‑cycle platform that has grown to over 25,000 employees, and earlier co-founded Brigade Corporation. Their wealth originated in enterprise IT services, real estate, and oil and gas — Perot Jain invests off that balance sheet. The firm targets early‑stage technology companies, writing checks from seed through growth. It has concentrated on enterprise software, healthcare services, mobility, and real‑estate tech, using the Perot-Hillwood ecosystem as a live testbed. AllianceTexas operates an active Mobility Innovation Zone where portfolio companies can pilot surface and air‑mobility products. Confirmed investments span revenue‑cycle automation for healthcare providers and logistics‑tech firms that integrate with AllianceTexas’s industrial infrastructure. Capital is deployed directly; the firm describes its model as patient — no disclosed fund lifecycle limits. Over 70 investments have been made since 2014, led by the two co‑founders alongside Partner Aaron Pierce. Perot and Jain also share ownership of the Texas Super Kings Major League Cricket franchise. Adjacent vehicles include The Perot Group, which oversees real estate, energy, and financial assets across the family, and Jain’s philanthropic initiatives — Get Shift Done, a COVID‑19 food‑relief program — sit alongside Access Healthcare. In March 2020, Jain launched the Get Shift Done program, which Fast Company later named the most innovative not‑for‑profit of 2021. The structural differentiator is the Hillwood‑AllianceTexas operating link: Perot Jain portfolio companies gain preferential access to a 27,000‑acre development that functions as a combined air‑cargo, surface‑logistics, and autonomous‑vehicle testing corridor. That real‑asset integration creates a sourcing funnel and a demonstration environment that standard seed‑stage funds cannot replicate.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Perot Jain?
Co‑founders Ross Perot Jr. and Anurag Jain lead the firm; Jain serves as Managing Partner. Partner Aaron Pierce is also listed as a senior investment team member. The firm does not disclose a separate investment committee.
Is Perot Jain a single family office or a venture firm?
Structured as a private equity firm managing family‑connected capital. It operates like an early‑stage venture firm, making direct equity investments, but draws from the Perot family treasury and Jain’s personal wealth rather than external limited partners. The firm does not market itself as an open fund.
Does Perot Jain participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
All disclosed activity centers on direct investments into early‑stage companies. There is no public record of Perot Jain committing capital to third‑party venture funds as a limited partner.
What investment stages does Perot Jain typically target?
Seed, start‑up, and growth stages. The firm describes its capital as patient and does not tie its holding periods to a fund‑life constraint, allowing it to support companies from inception through later rounds.
How does Perot Jain source proprietary deal flow?
Sourcing leans heavily on the Perot‑Hillwood real‑estate and logistics network. The AllianceTexas Mobility Innovation Zone gives the firm early visibility into surface‑ and air‑mobility startups. Jain’s Access Healthcare network provides a similar pipeline into healthcare‑technology companies.
Which sectors does Perot Jain explicitly avoid?
The firm has not published an exclusion list. Its public stance is opportunistic across enterprise software, healthcare services, and mobility, and it typically stays away from pure consumer‑internet plays.
Where does the underlying wealth come from?
Two principal sources: Ross Perot family wealth generated from Perot Systems, Hillwood real‑estate development, and oil and gas, and Anurag Jain’s wealth from Access Healthcare and earlier IT‑outsourcing ventures in India.
