Amex Ventures

Email the team at amexventures@aexp.com with a short pitch and your deck. Amex Ventures publishes this address on its own site and in its articles as the way for founders to reach the investing team, and there is no application form. Lead with how your product touches commerce, payments, fintech, B2B software or fraud and security, and make the possible tie to American Express explicit. A warm introduction through a portfolio founder or an Amex business unit contact still gets a faster read.

Worth knowing. This is a corporate strategic investor, not a purely financial one. Nearly two thirds of its portfolio companies have had a commercial relationship with American Express, so the team screens hard for whether an Amex business unit could actually use or distribute your product. If there is no plausible Amex commercial angle, the strategic fit test will likely fail regardless of your metrics.
