A New Kind of Early Stage VC

We launched Devcap because we see a greenfield of new opportunity in applied AI, and because we thought VC could be better. We're builders; we speak your language. We move fast. We tell you what we really think. Most of all, we know this is about you, not us.

WHAT SETS US APART

For Founders

We're builders

We're builders

We're more than just a check. Unlike most VCs, we specialize in R&D. We can open doors to our technical network, and provide strategic guidance that only comes from shipping ourselves.

Long-term partnership with proper alignment

As an evergreen investment corp, we have no wind-up date. That means we’ll never push you to sell your company early.

No stalling or placating

We're human beings who remember what it's like to go through a funding process—so we move at startup speed and share our genuine reasoning, whether it's a yes or no.

For Investors
