Divergent Capital

Notation Capital writes the very first check for technical founding teams at the moment of company creation, treating pre-seed as a distinct risk profile and working "in the trenches" with founders on "day 0:00" rather than just writing smaller checks. The firm operates with unusual transparency by publishing its internal operating manual on GitHub and running a podcast that interviews LPs to demystify venture fund underwriting, while also running a free, equity-free program for future founders in underestimated ecosystems beyond Silicon Valley.
