WHO WE ARE

Argon Ventures is an independent venture capital firm, managed by Argon Management, a Limited Liability Company.  In accordance with industry custom, this Site 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. Also, although certain individuals are identified on this Site as "Partners" these titles reflect business usage that is customary within our industry and may or may not indicate that any such individual is actually a partner or general partner of any partnership as those terms are used for legal purposes.
