## About Doepfner Capital

Döpfner Capital is a venture capital investment firm founded by Managing Director Moritz Döpfner, based in Los Angeles, California. Moritz previously served as Chief of Staff at Thiel Capital, Peter Thiel's family office, where he helped negotiate investments including Quantum Systems, a European drone startup.

The firm's debut fund, Doepfner Capital Fund I, L.P., launched in 2024 with a $75 million target and has since raised over $90 million, anchored by a $50 million investment from Peter Thiel, reflecting his pattern of backing former employees launching their own funds.

Döpfner Capital's strategy centers on making concentrated bets on a small number of enterprise and defense-adjacent companies, with a particular investment focus spanning both the U.S. and Europe. Its portfolio includes Stark Defence, a startup developing autonomous military drones.
