Cue Ball Capital
No summary available yet.
Cue Ball is old-school Boston VC done right - they actually know enterprise software and aren't just throwing money at anything with 'AI' in the pitch deck. Their partners have real operational experience and their portfolio companies generally speak well of them post-investment. They're not flashy or brand-name, but they write meaningful checks and stick around through the hard times. The downside? They can be slow to make decisions and their Boston-centric network might limit your access to West Coast talent and follow-on investors. If you're building boring-but-profitable B2B software, they get it.
