Electric Capital is an engineering-led venture firm run by former founders and senior engineers from Google and Facebook rather than career financiers, where partners continue shipping code alongside investing and the firm uses software and large-scale data analysis of hundreds of millions of code commits to drive investment decisions instead of traditional analyst teams. The firm raised $1B across funds designed for 10-year lockups to participate in long-dated token mechanics like ve-token locks that other VCs structurally avoid, while building and open-sourcing industry tools like developerreport.com that the broader crypto ecosystem relies on.
