- Andy McLoughlin: Managing PartnerPast Role: Uncork Capital, Partner
For more than 20 years, Uncork has focused on one stage: seed. Our partners have invested in over 290 companies, with more than 100 meaningful outcomes and $60B+ in enterprise value created — including Fitbit (NYSE: FIT, Google), Sendgrid (NYSE: SEND, Twilio), Eventbrite (NYSE: EB), Poshmark (NASD: POSH), and Postmates (UBER), as well as
fast-growing startups like Loft Orbital, LaunchDarkly, Human Interest, Gamma, GPTZero, Tailscale, Numeral, Ivo, Coder, Anything, Hallow, ClassDojo, Wrapbook, and Carrot Fertility.
We invest in companies using AI and emerging technologies to create leverage, unlock scale, and push industries forward. We're typically the first major check on the cap table, often leading seed rounds with an initial investment of $3M-$5M. We keep terms simple and transparent, because a clean term sheet makes a strong partnership.
We look for team, TAM, and tailwinds, but conviction in founder–market fit comes above all else. We back founders who bring sharp insight into their markets and the drive to build what others can’t yet see.
There’s no single playbook for building a company. Every journey looks different, but our role stays the same: a steady partner who shows up early, knows when to deliver hard truths, and stays engaged long after the round closes.
