The firm was founded in 2017 by former B2B SaaS founders Pat Matthews and Cat Dizon, who prefer companies that can get to market with very little capital and like to be a material part of the first million dollars into the business. Active Capital invests in remote teams and emerging tech hubs across the US and beyond, leveraging cloud computing, AI, ML, and Web3 to build the next frontier of business software sectors. The firm's focus is on founder-led capital for founder-led companies.
