We Are Builders & Founders

We’re founders and builders here to help others create and scale transformative companies.

  • We built the team that we wish we had in our corner when we founded our first companies.

  • Venture is an antiquated industry, so we’re using software to scale the un-scaleable parts of our business in order to better help our founders and make best use of our all-star team’s time.

  • Our partners — leveled up through software — are a hive mind to serve founders, who in turn help us see the future.

We've helped more founders build startups at the earliest possible stage than most anyone you'll meet

Initialized Capital is a San Francisco and New York-based early-stage venture capital firm, which now has $3.2B assets under management and more than 200 active companies in the portfolio.

We have helped more founders build startups at the earliest possible stage than most anyone you'll meet, and that means we can help startups avoid the 1,000 landmines that can cause certain failure. A lot of great investors, advisors, founders, and friends have helped us along the way.
