Investment thesis
Original Capital backs relentless founders building from original insight, technical depth, and unusual persistence, primarily in vertical software and fintech. The firm aims to be founders' first believers, often partnering before incorporation. It prioritizes founder alignment by not taking board seats, positioning itself as a founder's first call in difficult moments. Rather than maximizing ownership, it accepts lower stakes in exchange for helping founders build the strongest long-term cap table. It targets early-stage companies with innovative solutions, strong teams, large markets, defensible technology, and clear paths to scale.
