Intel Capital

Intel Capital was founded in 1991 as, by its own description, the first corporate venture capital firm, and it has spent more than three decades investing globally around Intel's core compute and connectivity platforms. The firm organizes its current portfolio into four groups - Cloud, Devices, Frontier, and Silicon - reflecting genuinely broad technical reach across AI infrastructure, edge systems, cybersecurity, 5G, and semiconductor tooling, not just software. Since 1991, Intel Capital has invested $12.9 billion across more than 1,582 companies worldwide, with 692 of them reaching a public listing or acquisition, giving it one of the largest cumulative track records of any strategic investor in technology.
