Who we are

Capital57 is an early-stage venture capital firm backing the founders building the technology infrastructure of the next global economy. We invest across 57 frontier cities in the world's middle-power nations

Funding Requirements

We invest in the places building their own digital, financial, health, energy, food and AI infrastructure — our thesis is that the next wave of returns will increasingly come from them. Our proprietary Index scores every market on ecosystem maturity and frontier growth, so we prioritise cities by opportunity rather than country size.

Value add

We have built a proprietary tech stack that anticipates potential startup failings two quarters in advance through continuous data monitoring alongside our portfolio. To supplement that, we require our portfolio to have the right tools to be able to track, monitor and build their traction.
