Shelter Capital Partners

Shelter Capital Partners was a Los Angeles-based venture capital firm established to invest in technology companies across various sectors. The firm's primary focus areas included media, wireless/communication, enterprise software, and semiconductors. Shelter Capital Partners raised its sole institutional fund, Shelter Capital Partners I, LP, in 2000, securing $140 million in committed capital. This fund was deployed over the subsequent years, with the firm making a total of approximately 17 investments during its active period.

Notable investments included companies like VocalPoint, a mobile marketing and advertising firm, which was later acquired. The firm's investment strategy typically targeted early-stage technology companies, aiming to provide growth capital and strategic support. Shelter Capital Partners also saw several exits from its portfolio, with Crunchbase reporting 6 exits.

However, public records and investment databases indicate that Shelter Capital Partners ceased making new investments around the mid-2000s, with its last reported investment occurring in 2005. The firm's last reported exit was in 2007. Given that their only fund was raised over two decades ago and there is no evidence of subsequent fundraises or new investment activity, Shelter Capital Partners is widely considered a legacy venture capital firm that is no longer actively deploying capital into new ventures. Consequently, information regarding current typical check sizes is not applicable, as the firm is not making new investments in the present venture capital landscape.
