1435 Capital Management is an industry-agnostic venture capital firm focused on transformational investing in early-stage and growth-stage companies. The firm targets startups seeking funding from Seed through Series C, prioritizing companies with strong teams, a clear path to revenue, and proprietary technology or a defensible 'moat.' In addition to primary early-stage investments, 1435 Capital pursues late-stage pre-IPO secondaries, giving it a bifurcated strategy that spans the private company lifecycle. The team brings decades of experience in private equity, corporate finance, entrepreneurship, and technology, working closely with portfolio management teams to drive strategic initiatives and operational improvements.
Notable quotes
“Circle was probably one of the bigger ones in terms of multiples on exit. They did really well – and they're still doing really well. I would say, for the most part, we're still holding on to a lot of names. We're expecting more IPOs, either later this year or early next.”
“I mostly spun out 1435 because I was doing a lot of investing and then a lot of people ended up wanting to co-invest with me. Before, they were following and participating through special purpose vehicles set up under my personal holdings. Then, I realized I should probably segregate the two.”
“I invest in early stage tech startups - industry agnostic but no biotech, life sciences, or medtech.”
