“When we founded Avanta Ventures in 2017, I envisioned a venture arm that would leverage the external startup ecosystem to amplify CSAA’s innovation strategy and capabilities.” – Debbie Brackeen, chief strategy and innovation officer at CSAA Insurance Group.
In 2017 Avanta Ventures started with a $75 million Fund 1 focusing on early-stage companies in the Seed and Series A stages. The Fund I portfolio includes companies such as Cowbell, and Kin Insurance.
