“Who do you go to first when things get hard? Who do you trust the most? Among founders, that's Costanoa.”

“Building a company comes with countless challenges, and Costanoa Partners have been steadfast in their belief in Alation. Their deep functional expertise, combined with a hands-on approach, goes beyond general advice—it's real problem-solving that empowers us to help more organizations unlock the full value of their data and AI initiatives.”

“Costanoa believed in our team and that, even when we didn’t have PMF, we’d get there because we so deeply understood the problem. They were gold plated training wheels for us. When I needed to focus on building my product, sales and building my business, I had this beautiful support system wrapped around me until we could walk on our own. If I ever start another company, Costanoa would be my first call.”

“Being a founder with Costanoa feels like being in the kind of family where I can share my true feelings and get real support.”

“Costanoa has been part of our team through all the highs and lows and every phase of company building, like an extension of our team. They are also just really great people who want to have a really big impact on the world, and we can't imagine building Vannevar without them.”

“I love talking about Costanoa to founder friends, because I feel like it is the most high value venture capital firm that you could possibly be involved with as an early-stage business. They build working relationships and friendships with their portfolio companies that create a very safe space for learning and experimentation. They bring world-class talent in all things marketing, product marketing, sales and go-to-market motion.”
