Fund History

Capital One Ventures invests as the strategic arm of Capital One rather than as a manager raising outside capital. A search of SEC Form D filings returns no private offerings under the Capital One Ventures name, consistent with a corporate venture group deploying balance-sheet capital rather than limited-partner commitments, and the group publishes no fund sizes or assets under management.

The stated mandate is to back pioneering companies transforming the future of data, technology and financial services in ways that relate to the business of Capital One. The portfolio tracks that mandate closely: Snowflake and DataRobot on the data and machine-learning side, Socure in identity verification, CardFlight in payment acceptance, Onna in enterprise data management, Konfio in Mexican small-business lending, and Hopper and Melio in travel booking and accounts-payable software. The team works from Capital One's McLean, Virginia campus and positions itself as a strategic investor harnessing the potential of startups to accelerate innovation.
