Murphree Venture Partners is a seed and early stage venture capital firm, making direct equity investments into emerging entrepreneurial enterprises, primarily in the southwestern U.S. region. The firm seeks to align itself with entrepreneurs and management groups with whom we can develop strong working relationships, and with whom we can act in concert as owners/investors.

The practical experience of Murphree Venture Partners principals brings to the firm a “real world” point of view and is especially effective in guiding a venture through the entrepreneurial process to commercial success. The entrepreneur not only receives capital for his venture, but gets almost 75 years of direct entrepreneurial experience as part of the process.

Murphree Venture Partners invests in high-technology enterprises such as Internet infrastructure and application software, life sciences, telecommunications, optical/semiconductor devices, and energy technologies. In addition to these focus areas, Murphree Venture Partners invests in selected low-tech and non-tech endeavors.
