Initialized Capital

We set the standard in seed stage venture capital, backing founders with grit, audacity, and a spark of rebellion. We test for obsession and intellectual honesty and make it clear we mirror that mentality. We're excited by what could be, resilient in the face of challenge, ambitious, empathetic, and collaborative. Our team is built for what you need now, guiding you and helping develop your skills in every facet of your business, but most crucially, what you need at seed: building your company and team, refining your story, reaching product market fit, and raising your next round.Initialized invests across all sectors and is an early backer of companies like Coinbase, Instacart, Rippling, Flexport, and Flock Safety. With $3B+ in assets under management, our portfolio includes 175+ companies worth close to $200B in company valuations, with 28+ valued at $1B or more.
