Crosslink Capital

Crosslink Capital was founded in 1989 and has spent 35 years investing in early-stage founders from pre-seed and seed through Series A, across enterprise, consumer, and vertical technology. The firm's clearest differentiator is Alpha, an invite-only network of more than 2,000 founders, CEOs, investors, and operators that General Partner Eric Chin co-founded in 2005 - now running more than forty annual events and functioning as a genuine deal-sourcing and founder-support engine rather than a marketing label. Crosslink closed its tenth flagship fund, Crosslink Ventures X, at $350 million in April 2024, the same size as its prior fund from January 2021, and now manages more than $4.6 billion.

Signature Exit
