What is Hinge Capital?

Hinge Capital is a venture capital firm that operates with a distinct focus on funding innovative companies in various technological and internet-based sectors. With a headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona, they position themselves as committed partners to brave and curious entrepreneurs who aim to redefine industries or pioneer new categories.

They invest across a broad spectrum of industries including artificial intelligence, blockchain, consumer and media, financial services, health, education, and core internet. Hinge Capital is particularly interested in early-stage investments, spanning stages such as Seed, Pre-seed, Friends and Family, Angel, Post-seed, and Series A rounds.

They believe that their early involvement is instrumental in providing meaningful support to founders. Since their inception in 2010, they have invested in over 90 companies and have developed founder programs as well as engineered software to assist their portfolio companies from the outset of company building.

Describing their operation as '1/2 Startup, 1/2 VC,' Hinge Capital emphasizes its non-traditional approach as a platform led by a diverse team of operators, data scientists, designers, and engineers, all guided by thoughtful investors. Their commitment is seen in their provision of patient and flexible capital aimed at making risk-on investments in next-generation vertical technologies.

Hinge Capital offers a suite of products and programs which positions them as more than mere capital providers; they serve as a hands-on expansion platform to the companies they invest in.
