Meet the Venture Capitalists · Firm Profile
Norwest
States 65 years of partnering with innovators and more than 700 companies backed. Invests from early-stage venture through late-stage growth, with dedicated operations in India and Israel alongside North America.
Criteria: Names biotechnology, life sciences, fintech, proptech, consumer products and business-to-business SaaS among its areas. Publishes no check sizes and no capital under management.
What this means for your pitchThe stage range is very wide, so the useful question is not whether they invest at your stage but which team does. Establish that before the first meeting, and if you are outside North America check whether the India or Israel practice is the right door, because they are presented as distinct operations.
Check sizes and capital under management are not published by the firm.
