Backing obsessed founders creating high-growth, cash-efficient ventures

Capacity Capital helps founders find funding that fits, whether it’s from us or another source.

Why Capacity?

Chasing funding for all-or-nothing growth is a fool's errand. The market rewards a balance of high growth and capital efficiency.

We back founders who believe the following:
> Fast growth and financial discipline aren't mutually exclusive
> Capital efficiency creates optionality and long-term value
> Value creation is from customer growth, not constant fundraising

We prefer high-growth business models that thrive without continuous external funding.

We seek founders focused on the next inflection point, and the opportunity to be one of the last rounds of risk capital.
‍This optimization creates far more liquidity options and fewer dilution than the traditional 'chasing the alphabet' approach.
‍
We are a group of founders providing capacity to other founders who believe in this philosophy.

What we look for

Capacity invests early-stage risk capital in Southeast founders building cash-efficient, high-growth companies.

Founder(s)

Uncommon founding teams obsessed with solving an urgent, worthwhile problem.

Stage

Defined problem and sustained $20k+ rev/mo. Clear inflection point requiring risk capital.

Financial Model

High margin, capital-efficient, line-of-sight to break-even in 12-18 months.

Product / Market

Potential to own a niche adjacent to a very large market. Vertical agnostic.

Geography

Typically outside known tech centers, with a bias to the Southeast US.

Not a Fit

Long-cycle R&D, "winner-take-all" strategies prior to profitability, Product vs problem-focus

Accessing funding that “fits” is a common constraint for fast-growth companies. The wrong type of capital can be damaging.

If your organization assists growing companies with capital, we would like to collaborate.
