Fluke Venture Partners is a Kirkland, Washington-based venture capital firm founded in 1982 that focuses on later-stage and growth financings for technology, healthcare, consumer, and manufacturing companies primarily in the U.S. Pacific Northwest region. The firm typically makes disciplined, selective investments with an emphasis on partnering with experienced management teams and often seeks board representation to support long-term value creation. Over more than three decades it has backed and exited a diverse set of companies, building a curated portfolio with historical successes across multiple sectors. Fluke limits its portfolio size to provide active strategic support and governance and prefers to lead investment syndicates or co-invest with qualified institutional partners. The firm’s investment approach stresses deep regional networks and hands-on engagement while maintaining a long-term partnership orientation with entrepreneurs.
