SixThirty

What SixThirty does

SixThirty Ventures, LLC is a privately held Delaware limited liability company headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, operating as a global venture capital and advisory firm. Founded in 2013 and co-founded by Jim McKelvey (co-founder of Square), the firm invests from late seed through early-growth rounds into enterprise technology startups at the intersection of fintech, insurtech, digital health, cybersecurity and privacy. Its core 'product' is the SixThirty Go-to-Market Program — a structured accelerator that combines capital with curated introductions to a roster of corporate Limited Partners (named LPs include Aflac, Allianz, BNY, Centene, Commerce Bank, Edward Jones, Mastercard, RGA, Shelter Insurance, Unum, Western & Southern, and World Wide Technology) — paired with the Corporate Partnership / Circles Program for institutions and an annual CEO Summit that convenes the ecosystem. Underlying operational tooling is intentionally lightweight: The Canvas, a Typeform-based founder intake form, is the primary onboarding interface, and integrations are limited to LinkedIn and Twitter social sign-in.

The firm's business model is conventional venture capital economics plus an advisory overlay. Primary revenue derives from recurring management fees on committed fund capital from corporate LPs, supplemented by carried interest on successful exits and structured fees from corporate partnership programs (Circles, Investment Committees, CEO Summit sponsorships, and bespoke advisory engagements). Pricing, fund size, and AUM are not publicly disclosed. SixThirty has no parent company and operates as an independent firm with a lean team of approximately 11 named professionals across investment, corporate partnerships, regional coverage (EMEA and APAC, including Australia), and operating roles.

The firm has evolved meaningfully since launch: from a 2013 fintech accelerator with an $800,000 program, to a 2016 cyber-and-privacy accelerator expansion, to a 2018 partnership with World Wide Technology, and into a 2025–2026 platform deploying co-led Series A rounds (Range), Series A participation (Lama AI, AiPrise), seed rounds (Paralign Health), and new institutional channels such as the New Jersey Innovation Evergreen Fund. It maintains GDPR and CCPA privacy compliance, appoints an EU representative, and serves a global footprint spanning the US, EMEA, and APAC, with explicit positioning around AI, tokenization, and the convergence of wealth and health as forward-looking investment themes.

Revenue model

1. Venture Capital Fund Management Fees & Carried Interest: SixThirty is structured as a venture capital and advisory firm that invests from first check through early-growth rounds backed by corporate LPs. Its revenue is generated via traditional VC economics — recurring management fees on committed fund capital from corporate LP investors (across financial services, insurance, healthcare, and enterprise technology) plus potential carried interest / performance-based returns on successful portfolio exits. The firm also operates as an accelerator historically (e.g., 2013 launch with $800K program) and runs corporate partnership/advisory programs.
2. Corporate Partnership & Advisory Engagements: Beyond fund economics, SixThirty generates revenue through structured corporate partnership programs (Circles, CEO Summit sponsorships, multilateral corporate partner meetings, and tailored advisory engagements) where institutions pay for privileged access to vetted startup pipeline, due diligence collaboration, and curated innovation programs.

Product overview

SixThirty is a global venture capital and advisory firm (SixThirty Ventures, LLC) rather than a packaged SaaS product company. Its core offering is the SixThirty Go-to-Market Program — an early-stage accelerator for enterprise technology startups in fintech, insurtech, privacy, and digital health — paired with the Corporate Partnership / Circles Program that connects those startups to corporate LPs across financial services, insurance, healthcare, and enterprise technology. These two core programs are reinforced by ancillary offerings including the annual SixThirty CEO Summit, the SixThirty Startup Portfolio (a curated set of active and exited portfolio companies), thought-leadership and newsletter content published under the Insights section, and The Canvas, a Typeform-based founder intake tool used to apply for the program. The Investor and Partnership Manager job postings describe the operating roles that power deal sourcing, due diligence, LP engagement, and event execution across the platform.
