Fund History
Breyer Capital is not structured as a conventional blind-pool partnership, and that shapes its filing record. Jim Breyer founded the firm in 2006 to deploy his own capital, and it files no pooled-investment Form D for a flagship fund, so there are no public vintage-by-vintage fund sizes the way there are for institutional managers. The firm reports approximately $3 billion in assets and has added related vehicles over time, including Breyer Labs, a crypto fund co-founded by Daniel and Ted Breyer, and Breyer Zou Ventures I, which filed a Form D in May 2026 from Palo Alto with Theodore Breyer and Sophia Zou as the named general partners and an indefinite offering amount.
The track record that anchors the firm predates it: at Accel, where Breyer became a partner in 1990 and managing partner in 1995, he led the $12.7 million investment in Facebook at a $98 million valuation in 2005, returning more than 100 times cost. He has invested in more than 40 companies that went public or merged, among them Etsy, Spotify and Legendary Entertainment. Breyer opened a second office in Austin in 2020 alongside Menlo Park.
