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.

We feel strongly that great investments are a consequence of deep conviction. We do our homework and are vocal when we see the most interesting opportunities. We are not driven by ownership and do not make investment decisions based solely on potential exit size. At the same time our fund has enough scale to allow us to play a critical role for the companies we back. As our track record indicates, we define success in the same way as our founders. We believe in backing iconic founders regardless of their location, including places outside of the United States. We're proud of the fact that our portfolio founders originate from 40+ different countries across a multitude of continents. We have invested in companies with operations in 15+ countries including Armenia, Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Mexico, Netherlands, Philippines, Turkey, and the US.
