Slauson & Co.
Founded in 2021 by Los Angeles natives and long-time friends Austin Clements and Ajay Relan, Slauson & Co. focuses on Pre-seed and Seed investments primarily in B2B enterprise SAAS, consumer tech, and tech enabled businesses. Importantly, both Clements and Relan cite transformative experiences in their lives that drove them to dedicate themselves to driving capitalism in a more purposeful and inclusive direction. With the guidance and support of some of the leading figures in venture investing, including Ron Conway, Slauson has become a key player in the growing LA venture ecosystem. According to Clements, “Simply put, Slauson & Co. is a venture capital firm that is all about economic inclusion. While some run nonprofits or focus on policy change to address the widening wealth gap, our approach is an extension of decades long experience in one area – entrepreneurship. We have a belief that entrepreneurship is one of the most powerful tools for creating wealth but recognize not everyone has historically had access to that tool.” Their first fund was oversubscribed and institutional support for the duo has only grown as they have recently launched fund II.
