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!
