Investment thesis
Quake Capital is an early-stage, sector-agnostic venture fund that primarily invests at the pre-seed and seed stages, often as the first outside capital in a startup. Using a data-driven, collaborative approach, it targets disruptive technologies supporting core aspects of the global economy. The firm invests globally across five continents, with the heaviest concentrations in the U.S. and EU, and seeks value in underserved areas and teams with untapped potential. Quake emphasizes hands-on training, leadership development, and growth continuity programs to accelerate its portfolio companies. While not an impact investor, its merit-and-value focus attracts a high proportion of diverse and impact-oriented founders.
