Initialized Capital is a San Francisco-based early stage venture capital firm with over $700M in assets under management. We`re early investors in Coinbase, Instacart, Cruise, Rippling, Opendoor, and more — $100B+ in market value. We`re founders and builders who are here to help others like us build meaningful businesses. We focus on investing in high-potential software startups at seed stage and earlier, and are happy to be the first investors in early teams run by great engineers, designers and product founders. We`ve 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. It certainly won`t guarantee success (as we all know there`s no such thing in startups) but at the seed stage we`ve seen many cases where having the right investors will improve your chances significantly. In the end, we started this firm to help people like ourselves build companies that matter. A lot of great investors, advisors, founders, and friends have helped us along the way. We`re just here to pay it forward.
