Chris Wallace founded Dunbar Capital as a global microfund that makes small, targeted $50-100K checks at pre-seed and seed stages, backed by major VCs and fintech leaders, while building the fund around Dunbar's number principles of intentional relationship-building and using data about both companies and relationships to make high-conviction investments. He combines hands-on product experience at Bank of America and fintech infrastructure company Orum with previous early-stage investing at Greycroft, and has positioned Dunbar as both a capital provider and network intelligence platform spanning fintech, B2B software, and commerce enablement across the US and EMEA.

Notable Investments
Dunbar Capital is structured around "Dunbar's Theory" (the ~150-relationship cognitive limit) and builds its fund philosophy around intentional relationship-building rather than broad-based deal volume, operating as a data-led solo-GP platform that uses proprietary research to make conviction investments in pre-seed/seed fintech and "fintech-adjacent" categories across the US and EMEA. The fund has notable leverage in emerging-market fintech rails, especially Africa and LatAm, consistently backing infrastructure-heavy businesses where data, compliance, and financial plumbing intersect, while maintaining a network weighted toward elite fintech operators who can plug early-stage founders into a dense operator ecosystem.
