By using this Website, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these Terms.
Who We Are. This Website is maintained and operated by S3 Ventures, LLC. In accordance with industry custom, this Website occasionally uses terminology that may be interpreted to suggest that our firm is actually a single entity. However, there is no such single entity and all of the entities that comprise our firm have their own separate legal existence.

Nothing on this Website is intended to constitute (i) an offer, or solicitation of an offer, to purchase or sell any security, other asset or service, (ii) investment advice or an offer to provide such advice, or (iii) a basis for making any investment decision. Neither this Website nor any of the Materials make any effort to present a comprehensive or balanced description of S3 Ventures or its investment activities. Any portfolio company described on this Website may not be representative of all investments made by any an S3 Ventures fund and is intended to be illustrative of the types of investments that may be made by such an S3 Ventures fund.
