Harpoon is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests in the most elite early-stage technology companies in the world in the areas of enterprise infrastructure, cyber security, AI/ML, and deep technology. We believe that investing in the best, with the best, requires more than capital. As such, our firm specializes in adding asymmetric value to our founders primarily through catalyzing new customers and strategic partners for their businesses. To date, we have closed over $500M in total contract value for our portfolio from customers ranging from government agencies to financial services and big tech companies.
Harpoon was founded in 2018 and originally seeded by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Andreessen Horowitz. Since then, we have grown to $300M AUM, opened offices in San Diego, and New York City, and built a best-in-class portfolio including companies like Material Security, Robust Intelligence, Solugen, Semgrep, Astranis, Genesis Therapeutics, Netography, Graphiant, Vantage, and many more.
We are building the SEAL Team of venture capital and firmly believe that a small, elite team can achieve outsized strategic-level impact. We are a young team of ambitious professionals focused on building an enduring franchise by continuously driving results for our companies, and outsized returns to our limited partners. Our founders routinely tell us that we are the “most dollar-for-dollar impactful investor in the cap table.” This is a badge of honor we wear proudly and represents our ceaseless commitment to excellence.
