Strive Capital

An innovative venture capital firm pioneering quantitative and technology-driven investment strategies. Founded in 2011, Strive Capital was the first Quant VC firm in the U.S. and Silicon Valley, focusing on data-driven deal sourcing and due diligence. Their initial fund concentrated on the mobile app economy, while subsequent funds expanded to consumer software and enterprise SaaS sectors. Strive Capital is no longer making new investments, but its ethos continues through Chamaeleon.

The firm primarily invested in early-stage companies, often being the first institutional equity investors, and supported them from the earliest stages of business development through successful further funding and exit. Their investment strategy emphasized user adoption, retention, engagement, and sentiment, alongside team, vision, business model, and operational model.

Strive Capital's team was truly global in expertise and reach, with decades-long entrepreneurial, blue-chip, and investment experience. The team included Managing Partners Nuno Gonçalves Pedro and Christof Wittig, who brought deep domain expertise and resources to scale companies from early development to significant growth. Their commitment to helping companies accelerate growth was evident in their proactive, hands-on support and dedication to building the future alongside entrepreneurs.
