The Difference is in Digerati
Not The Details
Many VCs are led by those who understand risk in theory, not through lived experience. At Digerati Investments, we bring a rare edge. Our leadership isn’t from privilege; it’s built on resilience. Our Managing Partner, didn’t inherit access, he earned it, navigating instability, bootstrapping businesses, and serving as a U.S. Marine. That battlefield- tested discipline, adaptability, and decision-making set us apart.
We open doors others can’t. We know that the most groundbreaking AI, cybersecurity, and aerospace technologies obtain progress with government advocacy and procurement (take for example the internet, which was first a project driven through support of the government), yet most VCs lack the access or expertise to tap into this ecosystem. We operate at the intersection of national security and venture capital, positioning our portfolio companies to secure defense contracts, grants, and partnerships that fuel scale.
Strategically based in the nation’s second- largest emerging tech market of Los Angeles, we blend deep experience with market expertise through our previous as serial founders, our work in venture capital and our tenure at other companies owned by our team, such as Reciprocity ROI, LLC.
Our team knows how to take companies from 0 to 100, breaking into new markets and building lasting success. Digerati Investments isn’t just another VC firm. We are operators, strategists, and ecosystem builders who know firsthand what it takes to go from zero to one—and beyond.
