We back exceptional founders building the future. Each of us makes our own investment decisions and invests from our own sources of capital. A handful of companies are backed by all six of us, while the majority are backed by only a few of us—but we work as a team to support all of the founders in our portfolio.
We believe the journey in Silicon Valley is better shared together. For many years, we’ve been bringing operators, founders, and investors together for real-talk lessons of building startups, diversifying networks and shining a light on the parts of our industry which have been historically held close to the (Patagonia) vest by those in power.

Working with founders at the earliest stages: We learned from one of the best investors in the history of venture capital how to find, identify, and work with outstanding founders at the earliest stages. Not your typical venture capital team: We’re a bunch of former educators, philosophers, and tech geeks. You won’t find a single MBA or Patagonia vest on this team.
1517 Fund is a part of Beyond the Billion, a pledge campaign aimed at mobilizing a global consortium committed to invest $1 BILLION in women founders.

1843 Capital was named for the year Ada Byron Lovelace is credited with writing the first computer program. As the only legitimate daughter of poet Lord Byron, Ada found poetry in numbers and is credited with recognizing the full potential of Charles Babbage’s analytical engine. At 1843 Capital we wonder: “what would have happened if Ada was funded.”

We will help you secure your next small business loan. Our mission is to cultivate healthy businesses, because people matter.

Most loan terms feature a fixed interest rate.
3CORE also has a Small Business Disaster Interruption Loan Program. This is not designed to compete with SBA Disaster Loan Programs, but will compliment those programs by filling potential lending gaps. Program includes business working capital loans in an amount between $10,000 and $100,000, depending on each business’s individual needs. Larger loan requests with alternate rates and terms may also be considered.
