PJC Capital

PJC is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests in and supports promising startups, primarily focusing on consumer and enterprise technology sectors. The firm provides capital alongside deep operational expertise, leveraging its team's extensive background as former founders and experienced operators to guide portfolio companies through critical growth phases. This approach emphasizes active partnership and mentorship, aiming to equip entrepreneurs with the resources and strategic insights needed to navigate the complexities of building a business.

The firm was co-founded in 2001 by David Martirano, Gina Raimondo, and Sean Marsh.

By fostering strong relationships and providing hands-on support, PJC strives to be a foundational partner in its portfolio companies' journeys toward significant market influence and lasting innovation.
