Apply

Description

Two Culture Capital is a global venture capital firm headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. Founded in 2016 by Scott Hartley and Abhas Gupta, the firm invests in founders who "blend the art and science of entrepreneurship" (the "fuzzy" and the "techie") to solve complex global challenges in financial services, logistics, and consumer tech. 
  • Pre-Seed and Seed: This is the firm’s core entry point. They specialize in being the first institutional check and leading or co-leading early rounds.
  • Series A: They selectively participate in Series A rounds for high-growth companies within their existing portfolio or high-conviction new opportunities. 
  • Direct Engagement: Founders typically engage through professional referrals or by reaching out via the Two Culture Capital website.

Eligibility

  • Sectors: Fintech (APIs, Banking, Insurance), Logistics, Future of Work (AI/Human collaboration), and Gen-Z Consumer Trends.
  • Geography: Global. They have an active portfolio spanning the US, Europe, Latin America (Belvo), India (Vahan), Africa (Boost, Stitch), and Southeast Asia (Kumu).
  • Founder Profile: They prioritize "dual-minded" founders—technical visionaries who also possess deep liberal arts-style insight into human behavior and societal needs. 

Process

  • Thematic Vetting: For 2026, the firm is leveraging AI-native relationship tools (like Rings AI) to streamline their own diligence and connection process.
  • Global-First Diligence: Given their footprint across five continents, the process involves evaluating a startup's potential for cross-border scalability, particularly in emerging markets like Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. 

What an Applicant can Obtain

  • Strategic Capital: Access to funding from a firm that has backed multiple unicorns (e.g., Robinhood, Carta, UiPath) and has deep ties to Sand Hill Road.
  • Emerging Market Expertise: Specialized guidance on navigating regulatory and infrastructure challenges in Africa and Latin America.
  • Network of Networks: As an LP in Everywhere Ventures, Two Culture Capital provides founders with an extended network of over 500+ founder-operators.
