At Structure Capital, we help passionate teams build great companies by investing seed-stage capital, time, experience and relationships. We focus on companies that create a new market or new set of buyers by exploiting, capitalizing and profiting on under-utilized assets. Assets might include cars, houses, planes, airports, time, skills, knowledge, storage, transport, office space, hotel rooms, event space, personal property, and much, much more. We strategize with our portfolio companies founders, advise on growth, gaining traction, dealing with scale and deploying technology within. Using our extended network, we help connect our founders with the right people, best platform for the job, and those other funds or companies that can help these startups continue their growth.
