## About Acrew Capital

Acrew Capital is an early-stage and growth venture capital firm redefining venture through deep conviction, emotional intelligence, and long-term partnership. Founded in 2019 by Theresia Gouw, Lauren Kolodny, Vishal Lugani, Asad Khaliq, and Mark Kraynak, the firm is headquartered in Palo Alto, California.

Its sector focus spans data and security, fintech, and health, deployed through two vehicles: an Early Fund (Seed–Series A, $1–15 million checks) and an Inflection Fund (Growth/Series B+, $10–20 million checks).

Portfolio companies include Coinbase, Chime, Plaid, Discord, Gusto, Marqeta, Vanta, Cato Networks, Pacaso, and Divvy, with 16 unicorns among its roughly 150 investments; the firm also runs a Diversify Capital Fund bringing underrepresented investors into later-stage rounds.
