SBNY

Jordan Levy serves as Managing Partner and leads the investment team. He is supported by Special Partners Ron Schreiber and Josh Guttman, whose operator backgrounds inform the firm's approach to early-stage technology investing.

SBNY's website indicates a standard inbound submission process organized around team, market, product, timing, and business-model criteria. Their operator-led team likely leverages personal networks from prior product, sales, and CEO roles to surface deals before institutional processes, though no unique sourcing channel is publicly disclosed.

SBNY operates as an asset manager focused on private equity, specifically early-stage venture capital. Its principals are named on the firm's website, but the source of its capital — whether from a single family, a fund structure, or a pooled vehicle — has not been publicly disclosed.

Publicly available information describes SBNY only as a direct investor in early-stage companies, positioning itself as "first or second institutional money" into a business. There is no disclosed activity in fund-of-funds commitments.

SBNY targets early-stage technology companies, specifically entering as the first or second institutional investor. The firm focuses on the period when management is converting initial traction into a sustainable competitive advantage.

SBNY has not publicly disclosed any affiliated philanthropic entities, foundations, or impact-investing structures. The firm's public profile is limited to its for-profit investment function.

SBNY's public materials do not describe a formal co-investment program alongside other venture firms or general partners. Its stated model emphasizes being the first or second institutional check, which can create space for syndication, but no formal co-investment posture is disclosed.
