What is Capital Interests?
Most founders start looking for investors by filtering for industry, stage, or check size. That’s fine. It works. But it leaves out something that usually matters more: the relationship. And not just the professional kind. The kind that starts with a bit of common ground, builds trust, and leads to a desire to work together.
That’s the idea behind Capital Interests. We’re curating our own hand-researched lists of investors who share real world interests with founders, not just portfolio overlap or sector tags. These aren’t scraped directories or bloated databases. They’re built to generate good personal relationships in the industry that may or may not lead to something more professionally.
This isn’t about hacking fundraising. It’s about making it more human. Let us know what you think about Capital Interests.
