Structure Capital

Structure Capital is a venture capital firm founded in 2013 by Mike Walsh, based in San Francisco, California. Known as the "Architects of the Zero Waste Economy," it focuses on seed and early-stage investments in startups that unlock underutilized assets and excess capacity. Walsh was one of Uber's first investors and previously backed Salesforce as an early angel investor, later founding and selling Leverage Software, an enterprise social networking company, before launching Structure Capital in June 2013. The firm targets a broad range of sectors, including software, proptech, biotech, agrotech, retail, healthtech, and consumer, with typical check sizes between $150,000 and $1,500,000 and a sweet spot around $400,000. The firm has invested in over 200 companies to date, including Uber, Peerspace, Surf Air, Breather, and Boatbound. Structure Capital's investment approach emphasizes helping tenacious, empathetic, and community-oriented entrepreneurs build impactful brands, leveraging emerging technologies like AI and deep data learning to identify companies capable of disrupting traditional, wasteful business models.
