Notable Capital

What Notable Capital does

Notable Capital is a U.S.-anchored venture capital firm founded circa 2000 (formerly GGV Capital, rebranded in 2024) that backs early- and growth-stage technology founders with global ambitions. The firm manages approximately $5 billion in assets under management across multiple fund vintages, with investment partners (Hans Tung, Jeff Richards, Glenn Solomon, Oren Yunger, Chelcie Taylor, Dan Cahana, Laura Hamilton, Eliya Elon, Cami Katz, Raymond Wang, and Rares Crisan) maintaining a 15-year average tenure and vertical specialization across AI, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, consumer, fintech, and enterprise SaaS. Notable's 32 portfolio IPOs include Airbnb, Square (Block), HashiCorp, Slack, Affirm, Coinbase, Peloton, and DraftKings, with active positions in Anthropic, Vercel, Fal, and Handshake.

Notable Capital operates a structured portfolio-support platform called the N1 Growth Engine, which delivers three pillars of service: storytelling and positioning workshops, executive recruiting and talent calibration, and AI-enabled revenue scaling with introductions to a network of Fortune 500 enterprise buyers (CISOs, senior engineering leaders, and global innovation heads). A proprietary Founders + Leaders program, co-developed with the team that built Facebook's management training, provides leadership development for portfolio management teams. The firm supplements capital deployment with a 1,000+ operator Slack community, exclusive product discounts for portfolio companies, and dedicated technical advisory from partners with operating backgrounds.

The firm earns revenue through standard venture capital economics: management fees on committed and invested capital plus carried interest on fund returns. Notable reports a 96% IRR on its 2023 core fund as of November 2025 (up from -48% the prior year, largely driven by Anthropic). The firm is U.S. headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area with additional offices in New York and Tel Aviv, and distributes thought leadership through the Worth Noting newsletter, Notable Perspectives podcast, the annual Rising in Cyber report (with Morgan Stanley), and the inaugural Prosumer AI 40 list.

Direct peers

• Bessemer Venture Partners: Multi-stage venture firm with comparable AUM scale and similar cross-stage, multi-vertical thesis (consumer, SaaS, fintech, cybersecurity). Notable's portfolio companies (HashiCorp, Toast, Shopify alumni) and Bessemer's overlap in cloud infrastructure and developer tooling make it a structurally comparable firm.
• Lightspeed Venture Partners: Global venture firm with similar early-to-growth stage mandate, comparable AUM, and direct co-investment overlap (Descope, Wispr). Lightspeed's consumer, enterprise, and fintech focus mirrors Notable's vertical organization and produces shared deal flow at the seed and Series A stages.
• Kleiner Perkins: Historic Silicon Valley venture firm investing across consumer, fintech, and enterprise at similar stages. Notable and Kleiner Perkins co-led Phia's Series A and co-invested in fal's Series D, indicating directly comparable thesis and check sizes at Series A.
• Khosla Ventures: Multi-stage venture firm with an aggressive early-stage posture and direct co-investment alongside Notable in AI (Phia Series A, fal). Khosla's bold, founder-friendly thesis and willingness to lead seed and Series A rounds make it a frequent co-investor and direct competitor for AI deals.
• Accel: Early-to-growth stage venture firm with a comparable consumer and enterprise SaaS thesis (Facebook, Slack, Spotify). Accel's seed and Series A focus mirrors Notable's pre-seed through growth mandate, producing frequent co-investment and direct competition.
• Insight Partners: Growth-stage software investor that co-invested in Torq's Series D alongside Notable. Insight's enterprise and cybersecurity focus overlaps meaningfully with Notable's vertical, and its scale-up check size makes it a comparable partner for breakout portfolio companies.
• New Enterprise Associates (NEA): Large multi-stage venture firm with active portfolio overlap (BNTO, Quince). NEA's sector-agnostic early-to-growth posture and global footprint make it structurally comparable to Notable, and it is a frequent co-investor at Series A and beyond.
• Battery Ventures: Multi-stage venture firm with deep enterprise software, cybersecurity, and infrastructure focus. Battery's thesis in AI infrastructure, security, and SaaS overlaps directly with Notable Capital's verticals, and the two frequently co-invest at the growth stage.

Broad incumbents

• Sequoia Capital: Largest and most established venture franchise; leads rounds Notable participates in (fal Series D, Quince Series E context). Sequoia serves as both a co-investor and a direct competitor at growth stage, with a much larger AUM but similar sector coverage.
• Andreessen Horowitz: Mega-fund with comparable AI, crypto, and enterprise focus. Notable and a16z co-invest in fal and Quince, and both operate large platform teams. A16z is a direct competitor at Series A through growth, with a meaningfully larger AUM and brand.
