Uncork Capital

Uncork Capital is a seed-stage venture firm that has focused on one stage for more than 20 years: seed. The firm is typically the first major check on the cap table, leading seed rounds with an initial investment of about $3–5M, and keeping terms simple and transparent. Uncork looks for team, TAM, and tailwinds, but places conviction in founder–market fit above all else, backing founders who bring sharp insight into their markets and the drive to build what others can't yet see. The firm invests in companies using AI and emerging technologies to create leverage, unlock scale, and push industries forward — spanning B2B applications, developer tooling, infrastructure & security, consumer & marketplaces, and frontier tech/hardware. With over 290 portfolio companies and $60B+ in enterprise value created, Uncork's role is to be "a steady partner who shows up early, knows when to deliver hard truths, and stays engaged long after the round closes." The Plus fund series provides follow-on capital for breakout portfolio companies as they reach their inflection point and scale.
