Amazon Catalytic Capital

Amazon Catalytic Capital is an investment fund -- with an initial $150 million commitment -- to invest in venture capital (VC) funds, accelerators, incubators, and venture studios that have a track record of and commitment to investing in startups with founders from underrepresented backgrounds. Amazon Catalytic Capital provides more startups led by underrepresented founders access to capital, mentorship, and partnership and collaboration opportunities to help bring their ideas to fruition. We hope that our investment will be catalytic - sparking a force-multiplying effect by inspiring others to invest, fostering inclusion and innovation, positively impacting communities, and creating generational wealth and financial return.
