Bow Capital is an early-stage (Series A and B focused) venture firm. Founded in partnership with the University of California, we're building a different kind of venture fund - one that bridges academia, sports and entertainment, and business. Our firm is led by 3 GPs, each of whom has founded and/or scaled companies of their own, including some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley. They bring deep operating experience coupled with institutional venture and angel investing experience to support our entrepreneurs in building legacies.
The world is undergoing a fundamental shift toward Civilization 3.0, a new era in which data, ideas, and imagination are the raw materials to disrupting industries and forging new ones. We're pursuing the big ideas that will change society and leave a lasting impact.
