1971 Capital is a proprietary investment firm pursuing thematic opportunities across asset classes and life cycles.
We invest our own capital. No outside mandates, no fees.
We start with a theme we have conviction in, then invest in the asset classes that express it best.
Opportunity doesn't respect stage, and neither do we. We invest across life cycles, from pre-seed ventures to liquid public markets.
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.
