Not Boring Capital

Not Boring Capital is the investment arm of the broader Not Boring venture and media platform founded by Packy McCormick.

The platform's media operation publishes in-depth writing on technology, startups, business models and markets, with an editorial focus on companies working to build future-facing industries. Technical areas covered across the organisation include venture investing, startup and technology analysis, business model and market research, and content production.
