Burst Capital

Burst Capital is an early-stage venture capital firm based in Palo Alto, California. It invests at the Seed and Series A stages, concentrating on marketplace platforms, SaaS, and related internet businesses. The firm's investment team is drawn from operating backgrounds rather than purely financial ones, a structure intended to bring firsthand company-building experience to the companies it backs.

The firm is led by four general partners: Geoff Donaker, Mike Ghaffary, Wendy Lim and Rob Krolik. The founding group previously helped grow Yelp to more than $1 billion in revenue and through its initial public offering, and their collective operating history also spans eBay, other startups and investment firms. That experience is the firm's stated basis for advising founders on growth and operations - offering a practical perspective shaped by years spent inside expanding businesses.
