Wormhole Capital

Wormhole Capital is the investment arm of Vivek Garipalli's family office. It backs early-stage founders building what it describes as transformative, category-defining companies, investing as a sector-agnostic venture investor from inception through growth rounds. The firm positions itself as an inception partner, working with founders from incubation onward rather than entering only at priced rounds.

The stated investment approach is sector-agnostic, though the firm's disclosed areas of interest span healthcare, defense, aerospace, biotechnology, financial technology and consumer. Wormhole Capital targets companies it considers capable of reaching significant scale, with an emphasis on long-term impact rather than near-term outcomes. Its remit extends beyond capital: the firm provides strategic input and serves as a sounding board for founders across a company's lifecycle.

In terms of founder profile, Wormhole Capital backs independent thinkers pursuing ambitious, long-horizon ideas, and seeks founders who anticipate shifts in society and culture. As a family office-backed vehicle, it operates with permanent capital rather than a conventional fund structure, which typically affords flexibility on timing and stage. Founding year, team size, check size and portfolio composition are not publicly disclosed.
