Communitas Capital

Communitas Capital is a New York-based venture capital firm founded by financial industry veterans Doug Atkin, former CEO of Instinet, Tom Glocer, former CEO of Thomson Reuters, and Duncan Niederauer, former CEO of The New York Stock Exchange. The firm focuses on investing in early-stage companies that leverage technology to address social and environmental challenges, with a particular emphasis on financial technology and marketplace companies. Communitas Capital aims to democratize venture capital by enabling accredited investors, family offices, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals to invest alongside them through a crowd-syndication solution. This approach allows these investors to participate in funding rounds on the same terms as Communitas Capital. The firm's investment philosophy centers on identifying and nurturing businesses that align with its values of sustainability, inclusivity, and social responsibility. Notable achievements include leading funding rounds for several high-impact startups and establishing partnerships with organizations that share a commitment to social entrepreneurship. Communitas Capital's areas of focus include clean energy, sustainable agriculture, healthcare innovation, and education technology. Key differentiators include a hands-on approach to portfolio management, a strong network of industry experts, and a commitment to long-term value creation. The firm's geographic focus is primarily in North America, with a particular emphasis on the United States and Canada.
