Capital One Growth Ventures

Capital One Growth Ventures is the corporate venture capital arm of Capital One Financial, a Fortune 100 company. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in McLean, Virginia — with additional offices in San Francisco and New York — the firm invests in companies transforming the future of data, technology, and financial services, closely aligned with Capital One's strategic priorities. Over its decade-long history the firm has built a portfolio of more than 130 investments, averaging approximately six new deals per year. The firm leads rounds at the Seed through Series B stages, deploying checks averaging $5 million and up to $15 million per deal. The portfolio includes 18 unicorns, 5 IPOs, and 14 acquisitions. Notable companies backed include Snowflake Computing, ThoughtSpot, Melio, Harness, Veza, Hightouch, and Cylance — acquired by BlackBerry. Sectors span fintech, AI and machine learning, cybersecurity, data infrastructure, and enterprise software. Partner Jon Barad leads the enterprise investment division. As a corporate venture arm, Capital One Growth Ventures offers founders more than capital: portfolio companies gain access to guidance on product and business development, plus direct engagement with Capital One's ecosystem of customers, partners, and technical teams. That strategic value — grounded in one of the most data-intensive enterprises in financial services — distinguishes the firm as a partner of choice for companies building at the intersection of technology and finance.
