Intel Capital, founded in 1991 as the original corporate venture capital arm in tech, has deployed over $20B into 1,800+ companies while running an unusually hands-on program that places 30+ technical specialists directly into portfolio companies and facilitates thousands of curated meetings with Global 2000 customers annually. Unlike most corporate VCs that focus primarily on strategy, Intel Capital balances ecosystem-building with financial returns through deep-tech infrastructure bets and systematic go-to-market support that turns Intel's customer relationships into an extension of startups' sales and product development.
