We are a VC fund that focuses on controversial and subversive projects
Dumbarton Capital is a Palo Alto VC firm with a focus on subversive technology.
We fund technology that the world needs, but does not want. Our strategy is to focus on businesses which are intentionally neglected, but still promise to deliver substantial returns.
The dissidents of today are the pioneers of tomorrow.
In addition to investment, we offer professional one on one consulting to help develop your business. Our extensive network of contacts can help you turn your company from startup to multinational. We can also assist with complex negotiations that are required with governments and private sector interests.
Areas of Investment
Decentralized Technology: We invest in technology that promises to increase the amount of global decentralization and reduces government control of the economy.
Subversive Business Models: We can help you develop subversive business models that will revolutionize existing industries and throw existing power structures out of balance.
Controversial Technology: We are eager to fund controversial technology that can improve the lives of people such as human genetic modification or GMO crops.
Ethically Complicated Products: We are open to investing in ethically complicated products such as legal recreational drugs, gambling, or weapons development as long as they are legal in their jurisdictions and do not violate human rights.
