Investment Thesis

Black Capital Ventures operates on an impact-first investment model centered around the principle of ‘Better Future over Profit’. They believe in making sustainable, long-lasting impact on the world through technology-driven innovation. The firm takes a hands-on, active ownership approach, positioning themselves as long-term partners who work alongside founders from idea stage through commercialization, providing technical expertise, industry knowledge, and strategic guidance rather than purely capital.

What Sets Them Apart

Hands-on technical expertise: 'We bring technical skills and interim CTO competencies to the table from day one' with capabilities in Python, Cloud, and development architecture
Blended tech-business approach: Partner team of former industry experts providing both technical and commercial guidance
Active portfolio management: Unlike traditional VCs, they 'actively participate in the day-to-day management of the company'
Comprehensive founder support: Provide over $100,000 in tools and platforms including Notion credits, Google Cloud access, software development support, and exclusive founder network
Small but hands-on: 'Very small venture firm' (portfolio of 5 companies) ensuring intimate involvement with each startup
Equity flexibility: Rule-of-thumb equity expectations range 10-50% based on startup maturity, with technical expertise often convertible to equity
