BBQ Capital

What is BBQ Capital?

BBQ Capital is an investment fund that operates as a bridge connecting innovative founders and discerning investors. Their unique approach to investing began with casual barbecues in San Francisco in 2018, which evolved into larger monthly events to foster connections between founders and investors. With an emphasis on early-stage support, BBQ Capital raises and manages funds to invest in and accompany founders from the earliest stages of their ventures.

Their investment focus is on software industries, including web marketplaces, SaaS, and other tech-driven sectors, with a special interest in Series C, Series A, Series G, Seed, and Initial Coin Offering funding rounds.

The portfolio is diverse, with investments in various companies such as Quinn, a platform offering erotic audio subscriptions; Andromeda Surgical, creators of an autonomous surgical system; Coco, which utilizes human-piloted robots for delivery services; and ENTR, a platform aiding food and beverage companies in product compliance.

BBQ Capital also invests in industry-changers like SpaceX, pioneering private spaceflight; AstroForge, taking a novel approach to asteroid mining; and companies like Motive and Copilot that are reimagining the future of fleet operations and personal finance management. They're committed to removing the friction from investing, as demonstrated by their collaboration with AngelList to streamline fund administration and investments.

Moreover, the fund frequently features founder stories to highlight entrepreneurial journeys and the assistance provided by BBQ Capital, such as the development of Forward Kitchens and the launch of Coco's robot prototype. BBQ Capital embodies the mantra, 'BBQ.Invest.Support.Repeat,' aspiring to continuously support startups through capital, guidance, and networking opportunities, all while maintaining their heritage of community-building through barbecues.
