Firm Overview:
Ludlow operates differently because we’re a different kind of VC.
We believe in VC without ego. We wear our hearts on our sleeves,
avoiding the puffery and posturing that has given venture capital
a bad name. We fund the dreams of entrepreneurs and startups,
becoming close friends with all of the teams we invest in. VC is a
customer service business; whether it’s testing product, leveraging
our network, or forcing people to download your app, we’re here
to help.
