Not Boring Capital

Not Boring Capital is a venture capital firm founded in 2021 by Packy McCormick, evolving from his Not Boring newsletter and 2020 AngelList syndicate. Based in New York, it operates as a "solo GP" fund tightly integrated with McCormick's media platform, which reaches over 250,000 subscribers. The firm's core differentiator is storytelling: it uses long-form essays and its "Sponsored Deep Dives" to help portfolio companies explain complex, ambitious business models to customers, hires, and future investors, functioning as both a fund and a media amplifier. Not Boring Capital invests primarily from seed through Series B, occasionally pre-seed or growth-stage, with typical checks between $500K and $1M. It backs "Worldbuilders" across crypto, biotech, energy, aerospace, and AI, with portfolio companies including Ramp, Base Power Company, Astro Mechanica, and Meter; its debut fund raised $8M in 2021, followed by a $30M Fund II.
