About West Loop Ventures

West Loop Ventures is a Chicago-based venture capital firm founded in 2016 that specializes in early-stage B2B financial technology companies serving institutional customers. The firm’s investment thesis targets seed and Series A rounds in sectors including insurance, banking, trading, capital markets, risk, data, and process automation within institutional finance. It typically deploys initial checks of $100K–$500K (up to $250K–$5M overall) and generally acts as a co-investor rather than a lead. Notable portfolio companies include Kover.ai, Vauban, PiP iT Global, and Holberg Financial, among 11 total investments.
