New operator-led venture firm deploys enterprise-grade infrastructure alongside capital, enabling early-stage founders to focus entirely on innovation

AURORA, Ill.: Simplify Group today announced the launch of Simplify Ventures, an operator-led venture capital firm that pairs early-stage capital with the full operational infrastructure of a 17-year enterprise technology ecosystem. Portfolio companies gain immediate access to embedded teams across technology, cybersecurity, finance, legal, HR, go-to-market, and capital strategy, the same systems that power healthcare operations managing billions in premiums and millions of members.

The firm targets pre-seed and seed-stage B2B technology companies globally, with less than $5 million in annual revenue. Investment focus spans B2B SaaS and AI-native platforms, healthcare technology, enterprise infrastructure, AI-powered solutions, vertical SaaS & vertical AI, and fintech. Simplify Ventures invests across North America, EMEA, and APAC.

The Problem

Research consistently shows that founders of early-stage companies spend 60–70% of their time on operational tasks, hiring, compliance, financial planning, and infrastructure setup, instead of building product and acquiring customers. This operational drag is the leading reason promising startups fail to reach their potential.

The Simplify Ventures Model

Simplify Ventures eliminates that failure mode. When the firm invests, it deploys a scaled operational infrastructure alongside capital, not advice, not introductions, but embedded execution teams that operate as extensions of the portfolio company from day one.

This infrastructure spans critical functions like: Human Resources & Talent, Finance & Accounting, Legal & Compliance, Marketing & Brand Strategy, Sales & Revenue Operations, Business Strategy, Product Strategy, Solution Architecture, IT & Infrastructure, Cybersecurity & Compliance, Procurement, Administrative Services, Fundraising & Capital Strategy, and Facility Management.

"We’ve spent 17 years building the operational infrastructure that most startups can’t afford and don’t have time to build. Simplify Ventures makes that infrastructure available from day one, so founders can focus entirely on the work only they can do.” - Mohammed Vaid, Founder & Managing Partner.

Built on a Proven Ecosystem

Simplify Ventures is the venture arm of Simplify Group, a technology holding company whose portfolio includes Simplify Healthcare (an enterprise SaaS platform for healthcare payers) and SimplifyX™ (an AI/ML platform for enterprise software acceleration). This ecosystem has been built over nearly two decades, serving some of the most demanding enterprise customers in regulated industries.

"We look for founders who are building real businesses, not just products. Our job is to help them scale with confidence, from first customer to Series A and beyond.” - Dhanesh Chopda, Chief Investment Officer.

Fundraising & Capital Strategy

In addition to operational infrastructure, Simplify Ventures supports portfolio companies through subsequent fundraising rounds. The firm’s capital strategy team provides Series A/B readiness assessment, investor targeting and introductions, pitch development, financial model refinement, data room preparation, term sheet negotiation guidance, and post-close investor relations, drawing on direct transaction experience across the Simplify Group ecosystem.

Leadership Team

The firm is led by operators and investors with decades of experience building and scaling technology businesses:

• Mohammed Vaid, Founder & Managing Partner: Serial entrepreneur and chief solution architect; founded Simplify Group and built its portfolio of healthcare technology and AI companies over 17 years.
• Dhanesh Chopda, Chief Investment Officer: Corporate finance and investment management leader driving deal sourcing, portfolio strategy, and investor relations.
