Hone Capital – the power of the network
Hone Capital has created a unique strategy to leverage a distributed GP network and machine learning platform to invest in seed and early stage companies in Silicon Valley. We also invest selectively in growth and later stage companies.
Our firm has fostered relationships to build a wide-ranging distributed GP network consisting of people, including angel investors, serial entrepreneurs, and micro VC managers, who provide access to high quality deals in tech sector companies in Silicon Valley and beyond.
Over the last four years, Hone Capital has worked with 150 leads in its network to invest over $150M in 350+ seed and growth stage tech companies. Hone Capital’s network provided a deal flow of more than 1,000 quality opportunities annually. We have invested in a number of notable companies and our early stage portfolio has produced numerous unicorns today.
We provide capital and support to high quality emerging and established angel investors and fund managers to help them develop their portfolios.

“It has been a true pleasure working with the Hone team as the major backer of my fund. They have been highly supportive of my portfolio companies including the initial investments plus follow-on opportunities. They are committed to backing great angel investors who then back incredible entrepreneurs. Working with Hone Capital, and investing via the AngelList platform, provides me the flexibility to do what I love, without being tied to a traditional VC firm.”

“Hone Capital was one of the earliest & largest backers of the many real estate & hospitality technology deals that my co-founder Brad and I led on AngelList. Hone Capital has been an outstanding supporter of Fifth Wall’s vision as we’ve developed from being one of the largest syndicates on AngelList to now founding the largest Built World technology venture capital fund. Hone Capital has supported us each step of the way.”

“I’ve been investing in startups for 7 years with a specific focus on software development given my area of expertise, and I am a three-time serial entrepreneur with two exits. I am a long-term partner for the entrepreneurs I invest in, and meet regularly to help with advice, connections, strategy, and more. By being value-added it gets me access to some of the best startup investments. Hone Capital has been a strong partner for this strategy. They have added value to my portfolio companies with capital, connections, and expertise.”
