Founded in 2020, Pareto Holdings is an early-stage investment vehicle and venture studio based in Miami, Florida. Founded by Edward Lando (Wharton) and Jon Oringer (Shutterstock founder), Pareto has made over 900 early-stage investments across various industries globally — investing solely its own capital without external LPs.
Pareto invests across all industries and geographies — from fintech and enterprise software to consumer technology and digital media. Their philosophy: operate as a 'super-angel' venture studio that moves fast and prioritizes founder relationships — often being the first investor when someone is leaving school or their job.
With 605+ tracked investments, 155+ exits, and a Paris-based engineering team that incubates multiple ventures annually, Pareto Holdings combines hyper-prolific angel investing with active company building. Notable co-founded companies include Atom Finance, Goody, Zamp, Link Money, and Misfits Market.
"We deploy only our own money with a small and mighty team — often being the first to back exceptional entrepreneurs at the very earliest stages."
