Investment Thesis

Uncork Capital prioritizes founder-market fit and founder conviction above all else, recognizing that early-stage companies often pivot. They believe in moving quickly with deep conviction and full commitment to support founders through every stage of their journey. The firm takes pride in being the leader’s most trusted guide rather than the leader, providing steady guidance and hard-won perspective during the most critical, intense, and defining periods in a company’s life.

What Sets Them Apart

  • Over 20 years of seed investing experience with 275+ portfolio companies and 100+ market-shaping outcomes
  • Founder-market fit prioritized over traditional metrics like team pedigree or TAM size
  • Long-term commitment - founders often return for subsequent ventures after initial success
  • Fair valuations and clean term sheets with complete transparency
  • Opening doors and leveraging network to help fill rounds with high-quality, aligned investors
  • Stays engaged through pivots and difficult periods when other investors lose conviction
  • Platform team (talent, operations, go-to-market advisors) provides hands-on support beyond capital
