Kapor Capital

Overview

Kapor Capital, with founding partners Mitch Kapor and Freada Kapor Klein and managing partner Brian Dixon, says it has invested exclusively in 'impact' startups since 2011. It invests at pre-seed, seed and Series A in tech-driven US companies that close gaps of access, opportunity or outcomes for low-income communities and communities of colour, and expects founders to build diverse teams and inclusive cultures as guided by its Founders' Commitment. Its website reports more than 180 portfolio companies (188 listed in October 2026) and $106M invested. In September 2022 it announced its $126M Fund III, raised by managing partners Ulili Onovakpuri and Brian Dixon, the first time it partnered with multiple limited partners (including the Ford Foundation, Bank of America and PayPal).

Investment thesis

'Gap-closing investing': backs early-stage, tech-driven companies whose products close gaps of access to information and services, expand economic opportunity for underrepresented communities, or improve outcomes through market-based solutions to social problems.
