Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Roble Ventures?
Founding Partner Sergio Monsalve and Partner David Pérez-Hernández lead the investment team. Monsalve brings three exits and experience co-founding Stanford's Entrepreneur-In-Residence program, while Pérez-Hernández leads pre-seed activities with an operating background in employee engagement software and a Harvard joint degree. Investment decisions appear to flow through this two-person partnership.
What investment stages does Roble Ventures typically target?
Roble targets seed-stage startups, with disclosed check sizes between $200k and $2M. Portfolio companies often receive follow-on support through subsequent rounds, as seen with Dragonboat, Rising Team, and UBITS, which the firm backed from pre-seed or seed through Series A or B.
Which sectors does Roble Ventures explicitly avoid?
Roble explicitly stays within human enablement software for the workplace. The firm does not invest in consumer social, hard tech, or life sciences. Even within enterprise, it avoids anything outside its three pillars: workplace productivity, skills development, and employment creation and discovery.
Does Roble Ventures participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
The firm operates as a direct investor in seed-stage startups. There is no public evidence that Roble commits capital to external venture funds as a limited partner. The advisory network — including active CFOs, board members, and go-to-market executives — supports portfolio companies directly rather than through fund-of-funds relationships.
