Corazon Capital

Born out of a love for building startups and a passion for backing entrepreneurs with heart, Corazon Capital (Spanish for 'heart') is a Chicago-based venture fund that brings a coastal approach to Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A investing. With a rare blend of investing experience and operating expertise, Corazon provides unusually pragmatic, actionable counsel to the entrepreneurs it supports, believing that the best entrepreneurs and the smartest VCs will intentionally solicit both financial and operating investors in their syndicates. Fund IV reflects the firm's conviction that the next wave of transformative companies will emerge at the intersection of artificial intelligence and fundamental human behaviors — reshaping how people learn, connect, transact, work, and live. Led by the team that built and ran category-defining consumer platforms including SparkNotes, OkCupid, Match, Tinder, ShopRunner, and Grindr, Corazon brings an unusually nuanced operator mindset to its work with portfolio companies, investing nationally with investors based in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York.
