Thesis

HOF Capital is a global, multi-stage venture capital firm founded in 2016, headquartered in New York City, with additional offices in San Francisco and London. The firm operates with a long-term investment thesis known as the "March to Abundance," focusing on founders who are developing fundamental technological and business model innovations to advance humanity towards greater prosperity and opportunity. HOF Capital actively seeks out visionary founders tackling nascent platforms and embracing significant technological or business model risks, rather than investing in ventures with proven technologies and formulaic business models. Their core investment thesis centers on "acceleration of abundance," a future where sustained technological progress expands access to opportunity, health, and economic prosperity. The firm emphasizes AI and agentic systems as key drivers of discovery, engineering, and knowledge creation, alongside frontier infrastructure and applications that can shorten innovation timelines. The firm invests across all stages, from pre-seed to IPO, with a primary focus on Seed and Series A rounds, but also has the capacity for pre-seed investments and follow-on funding. HOF Capital employs a lead or follow strategy, depending on the deal, and utilizes various financial instruments. Their geographic scope is global, with a notable strength in North America, Asia, and Africa. As of late 2025, HOF Capital manages over $5 billion in assets under management (AUM). Other reports indicate AUM figures of $800 million as of April 2026, and over $10 billion as of 2016. The firm is actively fundraising, with a target of $300 million for its HOF Capital Strategic Opportunities Fund. Typical check sizes range from $100,000 to over $10 million, with some sources indicating a range of $500,000 to $10 million, and others su
