Co-Founder at Lowercarbon Capital · Joined 2018
View Live Interactive Profile →Chris Sacca built one of the most successful venture funds in history through Lowercase Capital, the fund he co-founded with his wife Crystal that made early bets on Uber, Twitter, Instagram, Twilio, Docker, and Stripe and vaulted him to the number-two spot on the Forbes Midas List. He stepped back from broad-based tech investing in 2017, and in 2018 the couple co-founded Lowercarbon Capital, applying the same return expectations and pattern-recognition instincts to companies that profitably reduce or remove carbon rather than chasing the next consumer app. Known for blunt, unfiltered messaging about the urgency of the climate crisis, Sacca raised Lowercarbon's first $800 million in outside capital within days in 2021, turning away what he called 'flattering offers' to keep the fund intentionally small, and has since backed more than 100 companies spanning fusion energy, carbon removal, and industrial decarbonization.
