Investment Thesis

Clocktower Ventures is a seed-to-growth venture firm investing broadly across financial services technology — insurtech is a meaningful but non-exclusive vertical within a portfolio that also spans banking, payments, lending, and LatAm fintech infrastructure. The firm differentiates itself through its parent Clocktower Group's global macro and asset-management pedigree, deploying from its third flagship vehicle (~$350M+ committed capital) opportunistically across the US and Latin America, with 250+ portfolio companies including Chime, Melio, and Mercury alongside insurtech names like Openly, Matic, Embroker, and Wagmo.

Manager's Experience

Santa Monica–based and focused exclusively on financial technology, part of Clocktower Group, a multi-strategy firm founded in 2007 by Steve Drobny with offices in London and Shanghai. Partner Ben Savage was previously Director of the Investment Associate Program at Bridgewater Associates and co-founded Artivest. Has partnered with more than 250 portfolio companies including Chime, Melio and Mercury, and is deploying a third flagship vehicle with over $350M of committed capital. Notably a deliberate non-lead investor that avoids board seats.
