1971 Capital is an investment firm dedicated to growing capital alongside our partners, from pre-seed ventures to liquid public markets.
Opportunity doesn't respect stage or asset class, so neither do we. We look everywhere conviction can be found, from a founder's first round to the public markets.
We underwrite every investment and commit our own capital. We never offer a deal we wouldn't invest in ourselves.
Every investment is made through its own vehicle. Partners co-invest with us in each deal they choose, on identical terms.
In 1971, the United States unlinked the dollar from gold. Eliminating this constraint did not lead to hyperinflation or a financial crisis. Instead, the era of fiat currency unleashed unconstrained credit growth and wealth creation.
We invest in the builders shaping this unfolding future, and the assets it rewards.
