New Fund Announcement

Introducing our “Fund I”

December 2021

Posted in: News

We are excited to announce our $15M Fund I and firm, OpAmp Capital.

As former founders ourselves, we look forward to partnering with founders at the seed to series A level and are grateful for the opportunity to do so. We understand what it takes to raise capital and are quick to assess whether a founder(s) is on the right path and with the right product before most. Most of our professional careers have been focused on building products and firms from concepts and we can provide “been there – try this” support to founders at this exciting, yet fragile, stage. We get it...

While venture capital investments have reached record levels, few early-stage investors can offer experience and strategic benefits beyond the capital they provide. Founders are faced with low conviction investors who are primarily focused on securing their returns without effort toward growing the business. To satisfy investors, founders often get bogged down in undifferentiated workflows related to admin, operations, recruiting and fundraising.

With this new fund, we aim to address this as collaborative partners with great founders. We can lead or participate in rounds with $250K-$1M checks, we are accessible round the clock and 7 days a week with an office in Taipei Taiwan and McLean Virginia.

Which finally brings us to our name, OpAmp Capital. Essentially it goes back to Craig’s electrical engineering and Carson and Steven’s Silicon Valley microprocessor investment days. If done correctly, a simple operational amplifier takes in a signal or differential inputs and creates a single useful output, often amplified with positive feedback. Fitting in that startup companies will face all types of mixed signals and we strive to help eliminate the noise and support founder’s businesses to grow – or amplify if you will.
