FirstMark Capital

edit

FirstMark Capital was previously named Pequot Ventures. Pequot was the $2 billion venture arm of hedge fund Pequot Capital Management, but in March 2008 it was spun off as a separate business and renamed. Over the past dozen years, the venture firm has opened seven funds, and it currently has $1 billion in actively managed and unallocated capital. The fund focuses on emerging media and advertising, data and analytics, and infrastructure startups.
