An early-stage venture capital firm
started by and for entrepreneurs passionate
about starting great companies.

John Kunhart, Harry Laswell and Corley Phillips (retired May 2008) formed American River Ventures with their extensive networks, decades of experience launching start-ups and working inside major corporations, and a shared passion for starting great businesses. Today the investment team includes four professionals, all entrepreneurs at heart who share the same passion. We have been founders, executives or investors in over 70 early-stage companies, from developing the initial product to growing those companies into profitable businesses.

It is our collective experiences and expertise that sets us apart. And when you work with any one of us, you work with all of us.
