About Uncork Capital

Uncork Capital is one of Silicon Valley’s most enduring seed firms — and a founder’s most trusted guide. We partner with the relentlessly curious, the undeterred, the trailblazers building AI-native platforms and infrastructure from the ground up. Uncork Capital is a San Francisco-based venture capital firm that helps founders build category-defining companies from the earliest stages. For more than two decades, through multiple boom-and-bust cycles and across the tech landscape, the firm has backed over 275 companies, including Fitbit (NYSE: FIT, Google), Sendgrid (NYSE: SEND, Twilio), Eventbrite (NYSE: EB), Poshmark (NASD: POSH), and Postmates (UBER), as well as fast-growing startups like Human Interest, LaunchDarkly, Carrot Fertility, Tailscale, Loft Orbital, Hallow, Wrapbook, Crossbeam, Fountain, GPTZero, Nuon, Ivo, Numeral, and Final Round. Today, Uncork continues to support the next generation of builders shaping industries across AI, SaaS, infrastructure, consumer, and frontier tech.
