Quake Capital

Quake Capital Partners is a venture capital fund based in the United States with offices across the country and in Europe. The firm invests primarily at the pre-seed and seed stage, often providing the first outside capital a company receives, and takes a sector-agnostic approach across a range of industries supporting the global economy. It has made more than 280 investments across eight funds, with holdings spread across five continents and concentrated in the US and EU. Alongside capital, Quake runs growth continuity programmes that combine hands-on training and leadership development for the founders in its portfolio, and describes itself as targeting under-served regions and teams. The firm reports that over a third of its investments have gone to female founders and around two-fifths to Black, Hispanic or other minority-led teams.
