[ about core capital ]

Founded in 1999, Core Capital is a venture capital firm managing $350 million in private equity across two funds. We provide capital to both early-stage ventures and small to mid-sized growth companies developing or incorporating disruptive, “core” technologies in high-growth technology sectors.

Headquartered in Washington, D.C., but with a national focus, Core Capital is led by a seasoned partnership with deep domain expertise and over 70 years of collective investment experience. The firm is backed by some of the country's most sophisticated limited partners and a Board of Advisors representing leaders in academia, government and business. Our close industry relationships are critical to our ability to source attractive, proprietary investment opportunities, partner with other leading firms, and invest in A and B rounds at half the industry average pre-money valuation.

Core has invested in nearly 40 companies and is actively involved with its portfolio. With over 100 collective career investments, our partners’ purpose is to apply broad operational and venture capital experience to identify and assist early-stage companies in becoming market-leading, sustainable businesses. To that end, we partner closely with entrepreneurs and believe we can significantly affect growth trajectory and profitability through proactive operational participation and board involvement.
