Dogwood Ventures

Dogwood Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm focused on B2B software companies. The firm invests at the late Seed or Series A stages, often leading rounds or co-investing alongside top-tier investors. It supports outlier founders by providing capital, strategic knowledge, and access to a curated network of entrepreneurs and business leaders, targeting high-growth companies with proven traction, significant problem-solving capabilities, and strong customer loyalty.

Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Dogwood Ventures draws its roots from the Southeast U.S., where it emphasizes undercapitalized markets. The firm was established to serve as a service provider to founders, prioritizing speed, transparency, and trusted networks in its investment approach. Its philosophy centers on high-conviction partnerships, simple term sheets, rapid decision-making, and making diligence processes fully accessible to build trust and alignment from the first meeting through to exit.

While specific portfolio companies are not detailed in available sources, Dogwood Ventures maintains a focused, founder-first portfolio of B2B software businesses demonstrating high growth potential. The firm publishes its standard term sheet and diligence process publicly to demystify fundraising, foster deeper conversations, and accelerate partnerships with exceptional founders solving major market problems.

The team includes Founding Partner Aaron Hurst, Principal Joséphine Kant, Venture Partner Joe Uhl, and Founding Investors David Cummings and Mark Gilreath. This group brings expertise in venture investing and entrepreneurship, committed to delivering world-class support as a lifelong endeavor in backing enduring companies.
