What Infinity Ventures does

Infinity Ventures is a privately held, early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2021 and headquartered across the Bay Area and New York City, focused exclusively on B2B fintech and commerce enablement. The firm invests from pre-seed through Series A in startups building modern financial infrastructure (payments rails, compliance, lending, expense management, mobile wallets, AI-driven underwriting) and commerce platforms (embedded checkout, marketplaces, vertical SaaS, B2B distribution). Its core product surface is its fund vehicles — Fund II closed at $184M in October 2024, with Fund II initial check sizes of $1M–$1.5M (pre-seed), $2M–$4M (seed), and $5M–$10M (Series A), versus smaller Fund I checks. The portfolio spans 30+ active companies across North America, Latin America, MENA, South Asia, and Israel.

The firm operates an "operators-first, investors-second" model: all three co-founders — Jeremy Jonker, Jay Ganatra, and Mario Ruiz — are former PayPal / PayPal Ventures operators with roughly a decade of combined experience covering M&A, product, engineering, pricing, and partnerships, supported by Venture Partner Kamran Ansari (Kapital Ventures, ex-Pinterest, ex-Greycroft) and Operating Partner Levi King (Nav co-founder). Infinity generates deal flow via direct relationship sourcing across a global network spanning VCs, corporates, and fintech leaders, supplemented by 25+ co-investor syndicates and an active portfolio founder community that drives referrals. Value-add to portfolio companies centers on board-level guidance, customer introductions (e.g., Deck to Bilt; Pagos to Adobe, Crocs, Eventbrite, GoFundMe; Mendel to Mercado Libre, FEMSA, McDonald's), and GTM support.

Cumulative deployed capital across the team's career is reported at $420M across 37 investments with 15 unicorns (including Plaid, Acorns, and Extend). Revenue is generated through traditional VC fund economics — management fees on assets under management plus carried interest on portfolio exits — with no proprietary technology product, public APIs, or developer platform offered by the firm itself.

Core offering

Infinity Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests in pre-seed through Series A founders building B2B fintech infrastructure and commerce enablement companies globally. The firm manages dedicated venture funds (most recently a $184M Fund II closed in October 2024) and supports portfolio founders with capital, board-level guidance, hiring help, and customer and partner introductions under an 'operators-first, investors-second' thesis rooted in the founders' prior PayPal and PayPal Ventures experience.

Product overview

Infinity Ventures operates a single unified investment platform organized around two vintages of venture funds (Fund I and the $184M Fund II) that back a portfolio of standalone B2B fintech and commerce enablement companies. The fund is the core product offering, with the portfolio (spanning names such as Flagright, Pagos, Rainforest, Mendel, Badge, FairPlay, Vinyl Equity, Garage, Sensible Weather, and Kanmon, among others) acting as the modules/underlying investments that the fund supports through capital, board-level guidance, hiring help, and customer introductions. The fund targets pre-seed through Series A companies globally, deploying $1M-$1.5M at pre-seed, $2M-$4M at seed, and $5M-$10M at Series A, and concentrates on modern fintech infrastructure and commerce enablement tooling rather than consumer-facing fintech apps.
