Uncork Capital

Uncork Capital, formerly known as SoftTech VC, is a venture capital firm founded in 2004 and based in Palo Alto, California. The firm specializes in seed-stage investments, focusing on various sectors including software as a service (SaaS), consumer goods, healthcare, technology, and marketplace startups. It manages two primary funds: a $100 million Seed fund and a $100 million Opportunity fund, which targets larger investments in mature portfolio companies. Uncork Capital typically invests between $250,000 and $5 million in each portfolio company, with a preference for equity investments, particularly for raises above $750,000. The firm actively seeks opportunities in both B2B and B2C sectors and aims to maintain a portfolio duration of five to seven years. While it primarily invests in the United States, particularly in regions such as Silicon Valley and New York, it may consider opportunities in Canada or elsewhere if a strong local lead is involved. Uncork Capital also provides support in product development, marketing, business strategy, and financing.
