Argento Partners is a venture capital firm providing investment, sales growth, fund raise, accelerator & advisory services to startups & investors. Founded in 2001, we assist founders by introducing capital, customers and partners to accelerate market growth, funding or exits.
Argento Ventures invests from early-stage to Series A. We operate on a case by case, tailoring rounds by bringing smart capital at the most impactful stages. We’re comfortable writing a check for Pre-Seed, leading a Seed round or orchestrating a Series A.
Our Sales teams across the US, Europe, MENA and LATAM fast forward clients by executing winning market strategies, partnering with big brands, entering new markets and accelerating sales growth or marketing effectiveness. We go 'all-in' with ambitious clients to exit.
Our Investment team customizes investment for startups and scale-ups, via equity, growth capital, debt & financing. With our network of investment partners we lead, raise or co-invest with angels, private equity, capital managers, venture capital or family offices.
Our Advisory team offers full audit & evaluation services to better prepare founders journeys - we can prepare business plans, build investor cases, propose equity preserving investment strategies or develop a range of exit options from M&A to IPO.
We partner with founders, investors and corporate partners to build, fund and scale ambitious start-ups. We invest early in world-class founders tackling global markets trying to solve the 'big issues' – using frontier technologies.
Our Advisory team was initially engaged to help raise our client’s first external round, $5M Seed. But as we realized the universal applicability and potency for their life-saving solution, our Sales Growth team quickly pivoted their market approach, product roadmap, company positioning and client proposition to enhance their sales and investor attractiveness.
This quickly led to much bigger and higher value sale deals with big brand healthcare providers with national reach across the US. Sales grew from $4.9M in their previous year to closing over $1 Billion sales ARR - over 200X times increase in a single year.
Meantime we secured a $50M Term Sheet from aligned and committed US Family Offices along with later arranging financing and liquidity options to improve cash-flow and working capital usage.
As part of our client transformation, we transitioned the product platform from 'analogue to digital' surpassing competition - reducing delivery costs by 45% and creating a new Enterprise 4.0 delivery platform – developing proprietary advanced diagnostic AI algorithms, with a highly interactive Cloud patient database utilizing an array of Edge Computing connected devices - dramatically transforming the quality, access and speed of patient care.
Our Sales Growth team continues to work to expand our client's sales reach, accelerate strategic growth across multiple axis, raise their company profile and deepen market penetration and open up brand new market segments.
This recent client example showcases some of Argento's skills and capabilities that led to those client benefits - in terms of improving their business overall, raising their market presence, securing smart investment and accelerating their product development - while at the same time expanding their sales and profitability dramatically.

Argento got all the big calls right - bringing strategic clarity, restructuring our business, pivoting our market proposition to drive more profitable, stronger revenues - all combined to raise our Series A within months.
