Not Boring Capital

Not Boring Capital operates as a "solo GP + media flywheel" fund where Packy McCormick runs a one-person VC fund tightly coupled to his Not Boring newsletter, using writing to source deals, win allocation, and amplify portfolio companies through content creation rather than traditional multi-partner firm structures. The fund's strategy combines extreme breadth with minimal ownership—deploying across 79 companies in 19 verticals without board seats or lead positions—while offering founders a unique value proposition through Sponsored Deep Dives that serve as both revenue generation and in-depth company analysis that helps founders tell their stories to customers, hires, and future investors.
