About us:

Socii Capital is an early-stage technology investment fund that specializes in backing founders building ‘Software Enabled Digital Infrastructure’. Our business model is to lead/co-lead early stage rounds. We have established locations in both the US (~70% of our portfolio) and Europe, with a strong track record of successful exits (~40% of the legacy portfolio). Our current fund is early in its deployment cycle and we aim to place ~10 more bets in the next 18-24 months.

We believe that we are fundamentally differentiated in:

We are specialists by nature. We like to focus on a small number of business models at any one time, building deep domain knowledge and expertise
We do our own thinking, making decisions from first principles and going where that takes us rather than blindly following what’s ‘hot’ or trying to preempt how others will think
Belief that Capital is commoditized, but Time is not
Alignment of interest is a core value for us. In practice this means a real obsession with, and not just paying lip service to, realized returns (i.e. DPI) for our LPs and buy-in from our entrepreneurs (figuratively, and literally as investors in our funds)
A culture that emphasizes direct interaction with our team and entrepreneurs, and eschews self-promotion and Twitter/Substack ‘thought leadership’
