645 Ventures
645 Ventures is one of the most experienced and successful Black-owned venture capital firms focused on early-stage investing in a variety of companies and sectors. The firm was founded by Nnamdi Okike and Aaron Holiday and operates out of New York and San Francisco. In 2023, the firm successfully raised two funds with over $300 million in commitments from an exclusive list of investors including multiple Ivy League endowments, top technology companies, and venture capital limited partners. The firm holds “patience” as one of its core values, which is reflected in an investment discipline that results in few outright losers. Their focus on exits and DPI are refreshing, and they will continue to get stronger as they are relentless about team building, culture, and developing a technological infrastructure to make better decisions.
