About WRF Capital

WRF Capital is the investment vehicle for the Washington Research Foundation. We invest up to $10 million annually in startup companies based in Washington, with a focus on spinouts from nonprofit research institutions in our state: UW, WSU, Fred Hutch, and ISB, among many others. Since 1994 we have invested in 114 local startups. We are often the first money-in, and we partner with angels and VCs over early and later rounds. We can lead investments, syndicating with firms that add value to the team and technology.
