lowercase capital

lowercase capital, founded in 2010 by Chris Sacca, established itself as one of the most successful venture capital firms in history through early investments in transformative technology companies including Twitter, Uber, Instagram, and Kickstarter, reportedly turning a relatively small initial fund (under $10 million) into extraordinary returns that some sources cite as 250x. While officially closed to new startup investments since 2017 when Sacca announced his retirement from venture investing to focus on other initiatives, the firm's legacy continues through Lowercarbon Capital, a climate-focused fund launched in 2019 by Chris and Crystal Sacca to invest in companies working to reduce carbon emissions and address climate change. According to its latest activities tracked by PitchBook and Tracxn, lowercase capital remains involved in some investment activity, with its most recent reported investment in MiSalud Health in December 2024. The firm's approach to early-stage investing, characterized by deep industry expertise and hands-on support for portfolio companies, created a blueprint that many emerging specialized venture funds now seek to emulate.
