Maxfield Capital

Maxfield Capital was a New York-based venture capital firm established in 2013, which operated for approximately six years before closing its operations in 2019. The firm successfully raised two distinct funds, Maxfield Capital Fund I and Maxfield Capital Fund II, each securing $50 million in capital. This brought their total capital under management to $100 million, which was deployed into early-stage technology companies globally.

The firm's investment strategy primarily centered on seed and Series A funding rounds. Maxfield Capital typically provided initial cheques ranging from $500,000 to $3 million. Their sector focus was broad, encompassing high-growth areas such as mobile technology, cloud computing, big data analytics, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), e-commerce, and fintech. This diversified approach allowed them to target a wide array of innovative startups poised for significant market disruption.

Geographically, Maxfield Capital maintained a global outlook, with a notable emphasis on bridging Silicon Valley innovation with opportunities in the Russia and CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) regions. This strategic focus often involved investing in companies founded by Russian entrepreneurs or those with significant operational ties to the region. Throughout its active period, Maxfield Capital made a total of 32 investments, demonstrating a consistent deployment of capital into promising ventures. The firm also recorded 2 exits from its portfolio, indicating some successful liquidity events for its limited partners before its eventual closure.
