About Hinge Capital
They may have a new flag, but they've been at it for almost a decade now. They’ve learned a lot and they’re a different company than they were in 2009, and they needed a new brand to represent their vision. Venture51 is now H//NGE Capital. They've backed companies like Ripple, Dollar Shave Club, Bird, Getaround, Classpass, eToroand Life360. H//NGE Capital invests in high technology companies leveraging their new, modern venture platform that supports the most promising founders in high-growth markets. They’re not commodity capital; they’re a platform led by operators, data scientists, designers and engineers, guided by investors, and equipped with patient and flexible capital to make risk-on investments in next-generation vertical technologies.Since the best early-stage companies require more than just capital, their platform utilizes people, data and software, in addition to their capital, to provide a differentiated experience at the seed stage. Their DNA is grounded in technology and product — just like the companies they invest in. They believe that this approach to venture capital is fundamentally different from a traditional seed firm.
