Thesis
Olive Capital is a venture capital firm focused on pre-seed and seed-stage investments in the United States and Europe. Their core thesis is to back "trailblazing founders" innovating in synthetic biology, software, and emergent platforms, with a specific interest in the intersection of web3 and crypto. They aim to support startups that are reshaping creation, collaboration, and communication, particularly in sectors like "Everyday finance, rewired," where brand and trust are critical. Operating as a "forward-deployed brand investor-operator," Olive Capital takes a hands-on approach, leading pre-seed rounds and actively co-building companies' strategic communication from inception. They provide capital, strategic mentorship, and operational support, leveraging a network of LPs from major tech companies. Their typical check size for seed investments ranges from $100,000 to $150,000. The firm was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in Atherton, California.
