Notation Capital

Founded in 2015 by Nick Chirls and Alex Lines, Notation Capital focuses on partnering with technical founding teams at the very beginning stages of their startups, often before they have a market-ready product. The firm emphasizes building a strong community among its portfolio companies, advisors, limited partners, and broader network, fostering collaboration and mutual support. Notation Capital invests across various sectors, including software, healthcare, artificial intelligence, and clean technology, with a particular focus on underestimated geographies outside traditional startup hubs like Silicon Valley. The firm typically leads the first round of financing and often invests as early as the idea stage. Notation Capital is known for its commitment to inclusivity and diversity, valuing a wide range of perspectives and backgrounds within its community.
