Concentrated early-stage investing

Inspired Capital is a New York venture firm founded by Alexa von Tobel and Penny Pritzker. It leads early-stage investments across technology sectors, with a stated check range of $500,000 to $20 million and fewer than ten new investments each year.

The firm pairs capital with operating experience and access to its network. Its concentrated approach is intended to give each selected company sustained attention as the founders develop the business.

Technology across different customer problems

Its portfolio spans dental technology company Dandy, autonomous defense systems developer Allen Control Systems and physical AI business BrightAI. These investments illustrate a generalist approach to technology serving specific customers, from clinical businesses to defense and infrastructure operators.

Inspired announced its $450 million fourth fund in October 2026, providing capital for further early-stage investments and support for its founders.
