DeepWork Capital

We're seed investors who write $500K checks and decide quickly. Once we invest, we roll up our sleeves to design you a better site and hop on Zoom calls to brainstorm how to acquire customers step-by-step. We focus on deep tech, but opportunistically invest across sectors. We love investing in Deep Tech Marketplaces B2B SaaS About Julian Shapiro I was the VP of Marketing for Webflow ($4B+ valuation). I then ran growth for Heap Analytics ($960M+ valuation), and I helped grow Clearbit. I then founded Demand Curve (YC S19) to help tens of thousands of startups grow. There, I acquired users for Imperfect Foods, Tovala, Outschool, and others. Our agency, Bell Curve, has grown Microsoft, Ancestry, TechCrunch, and more. I also wrote TechCrunch’s marketing column. Most people know me for my longform handbooks on Julian.com. There, I've built a large audience of startup employees (Twitter) plus I write a popular newsletter. Here’s a sampling of the nice things folks have said. Before this, I was an engineer. I built one of the most popular open source libraries: Velocity.js (Wikipedia, Github). For it, I was awarded the Stripe Open Source grant and I was profiled in Forbes. Prior to Julian Capital, I was an angel investor in Ramp, Republic, Mercury, Yassir, and ClassDojo.
