A Venture Firm Built for the Next Economic Era
At Dahlia VC, we invest in companies positioned to scale with structural change.
Our thesis is simple.
Demographic shifts are driving
the next wave of industrial, technological and economic transformation
—from labor forces and climate systems
to capital markets and public infrastructure.
We back b2b saas and marketplace startups advancing these shifts across workforce platforms, enterprise technology, digital infrastructure and applied analytics. These companies aren’t chasing trends—they’re building the foundation of a future economy.
Catalytic Capital Meets Structural Change
Dahlia’s investment lens spans five themes where demographic evolution and market needs intersect:
Workforce & labor transformation
Small & medium business enablement
Access to financial & capital tools
Healthcare infrastructure & innovation
Climate-aligned systems & data-driven resiliency
Houston Technology Development Fund
In 2025, Dahlia VC co-created and architected the Houston Technology Opportunities Fund (HTOF)—a $500M direct investment platform designed to manufacture the next generation of transformative technology companies—rooted in Houston’s unique convergence of Fortune 100 corporations, infrastructure modernization, world-class research institutions, and an increasingly coordinated civic and economic agenda.
Dahlia VC serves as the strategic advisor and platform builder, having originated the HTOF concept in close collaboration with local leaders. The Fund is co-led by Managing Partner Veronica Juarez and Senior Advisor Kennie Blanco, a Houston-born institutional investor with a track record of managing billions across asset classes.
HTOF is where Dahlia’s national thesis meets regional scale
—and Houston becomes a global model.
Long-term impact. Delivered with discipline.
