1955 Capital is a venture capital firm that invests in revolutionary technologies aimed at addressing global challenges in energy, environment, food safety, supply, sustainable manufacturing, and access to healthcare and education.

1955 Capital

1955 Capital is a leading venture capital firm that invests in companies developing advanced technologies that address the world's most pressing challenges in the areas of health and sustainability.  Unlike most venture firms, we work intimately with entrepreneurs and innovators to build strong companies, accelerate technology commercialization, create jobs, foster global partnerships, and go after explosive end-markets.  The firm was launched in 2016 by Andrew Chung, a former general partner at Khosla Ventures and investor at Lightspeed Ventures, who has rare experience and success investing in deep technology and breakthrough entrepreneurs.  Our diverse and inclusive team combines strong domain expertise, operating experience, and a history of commercializing technologies around the world.

Our founder Andrew Chung speaking today at AAAIM #VC Summit on principles that helped him overcome the pervasive "ivory tower" bias that can discourage aspiring investors from #AAPI or other underserved communities.

Amazing "Math in the Mountains" program developed by our founder Andrew Chung to mix math recreations and outdoor adventures with talented math kids from around the world in Jackson Hole. The focus on creativity, imaginative thinking, grit, resilience, and intellectual risk-taking absolutely applies to founding and investing in companies.

RIP Charlie Munger, who influenced our founder Andrew Chung and 1955 Capital’s thinking. You will be missed.

Congrats to Ampaire for making history again with the maiden hybrid electric flight into the Bay Area! Our team is proud to have been supporting you since the early days!

1955 Capital invest in advanced technologies from the Americas and Europe to solve pressing problems in developing countries. China, India and other developing countries have survival-driven demands that can accelerate tech commercialization. Over the next decade, the developing world will face an onslaught of challenges in energy and environment, food safety and supply, and access to healthcare and education. In China, the fast-growing middle class and an aging population are putting pressure on Chinese leaders and businesses to find ways to solve them. Other developing countries are on the brink of facing similar issues. We believe these problems are so big, technology is the answer.

1955 Capital will invest in advanced technologies from the Americas and Europe that have the potential to solve these pressing problems. With a first close on $200 million completed, we are ready to help entrepreneurs and innovators gain direct access to these large and explosive end-markets to help accelerate technology commercialization, create jobs, and foster partnerships that will support their long-term growth and development. We will help bring nations closer together by matching the ingenuity of the West with the growing survival-driven demands of the East.

The firm was founded in the Fall of 2015 by Andrew Chung, a former general partner at Khosla Ventures with extensive experience and success investing in these areas and commercializing technologies in China and beyond.
