Act One Ventures invests in extraordinary founders transforming how modern businesses operate and scale in the AI economy. We’re early partners for those rearchitecting the systems behind modern enterprise — across infrastructure, automation, and decision-making. Founded by two former entrepreneurs, we invest like operators because we’ve been there. That experience — across IPOs, hard pivots, and shutdowns — informs how we help teams navigate the decisions that matter early: pricing, GTM, capital strategy, team design. When that kind of support meets founders who’ve lived the problem, it sets the stage for outsized outcomes like AuditBoard, an early Act One-led Seed investment that became the largest VC-backed software exit in the U.S. in 2024 at $3.15 billion.

Firm overview Mendoza Ventures is an early-stage and growth venture fund based in Boston. The firm is run by husband and wife Adrian and Senofer Mendoza, entrepreneurs and prior operators who are veterans of the local startup ecosystem.

Mendoza started off as a pilot fund in 2016; after an exit and the realization that they had good traction with early-stage startups in Boston, Adrian and Senofer decided to focus exclusively on the seed-stage and formally launched Mendoza Ventures Fund II in 2019. Since then, the firm has made twelve investments and recruited senior managers, C-level executives, and domain experts as operating partners from places like State Street, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft. Firm strategy Mendoza Ventures takes a depth-focused approach, looking for founders who demonstrate domain expertise in one of their three main focus areas across fintech, AI, and cybersecurity. Adrian and Senofer pride themselves on being hands-on investors and setting up companies for success beyond just writing a check—they will help create a strong early funding syndicate, make customer introductions, and assist with partnership conversations. They really tap into their experience as former entrepreneurs to get in the trenches with their founders, with Adrian optimizing business structures and Senofer leveraging her sales and marketing expertise. Since its inception five years ago, Adrian and Senofer raised two funds, had one successful exit, and expanded their reach from their Boston hometown to as far as Norway.
