XSeed Capital

XSeed Capital is an independent, seed-focused venture fund founded in 2006 and based in Portola Valley, California, with $110 million under management. The firm believes in 'the creative destruction unleashed by technological innovators' and backs entrepreneurs building category-leading, high-growth companies. Each portfolio company must boast significant technical differentiation — rooted in breakthrough innovations in software, computer science, and other IT disciplines — that creates unique customer value. XSeed makes initial commitments at the seed stage and continues to support companies with time, effort, and follow-on capital through multiple rounds. As serial entrepreneurs themselves, the XSeed team delivers custom, founder-friendly support: helping recruit talent, access customers, find channel partners, and tap technical, design, and marketing resources. The firm has strong connections to technology leaders and research from Stanford, UC Berkeley, MIT, and CMU, and leverages its IT-centric foundation alongside deep domain knowledge across enterprise software, AI/ML, fintech, cybersecurity, and healthcare to help startups reach critical value inflection points faster.
