Overview

Slauson & Co. is an early-stage venture capital firm based in Los Angeles, founded in 2020 by Austin Clements and Ajay Relan. The firm is driven by a mission of economic inclusion, focusing on investing in small business (SMB) technologies and culturally relevant consumer products. It intentionally backs historically underrepresented founders, particularly from Black and Latinx communities, with the belief that talent is evenly distributed but opportunity is not. The firm has raised two funds, a $75 million Fund I and a $100 million Fund II, and is backed by prominent investors and companies including PayPal, Google, Meta, and Ron Conway.
