Emergence Capital

True Ventures is a US-based venture capital firm that helps entrepreneurs create products in markets that really don't yet exist. We are willing to take bets that others will not, and will invest at the Series A stage or earlier and back up our initial investment with follow-on capital. True Ventures sector focus shifts as the opportunity set moves: we are not fixated on any one particular sector. However, along with software and other soft technology, we have expertise and have invested in hardware, biotechnology / life sciences and deep tech. We believe in building community, taking bold risks, and supporting our companies throughout their entire lifecycles.

Uncork Capital is a Palo Alto based venture capital firm that invests seed capital into technology startups, especially in the sectors of e-commerce, mobile services and Software as a Service (SaaS). Uncork Capital is one of the most active seed investors in Silicon Valley, having made more than 200 companies and successfully exited more than 60. Unlike many investors, we have and will continue to invest in hardware and frontier/deep technology (e.g. space, robotics, AR/VR). Although we focus on seed investing, we have a separate fund that pursues follow-on investments into mature, existing portfolio companies. We stay deeply involved with the founding team throughout the most intense period of a company's life. The early years. As new investors join the board, we transition out to make room. Even then, we remain supportive and available to the team for the whole journey, no matter what the outcome. What do we look for? Outliers and outperformers who use technology to solve real problems for real people and real businesses. Products or services that are differentiated and special. You should be obsessed with the idea and uniquely qualified to build and scale it. The sector you are targeting should be large enough to support a few public companies. Uncork Capital was previously known as SoftTech until its name change in 2017.
