Mica Creek Capital

Mica Creek is the family office for Stripe co-founders Patrick and John Collison, and it manages capital for a group of early Stripe employees. It invests independently and is not a corporate venture arm of Stripe.

The firm operates as a lean team with investment decisions typically made by a small group of professionals reporting to the Collison brothers, who are directly involved in the strategy.

Mica Creek deploys across direct venture capital, growth equity, select fund commitments, and liquid crypto assets. Its known direct checks range from $10 million to $75 million in Series B through D rounds.

Yes. The office frequently participates in rounds alongside Sequoia, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, taking concentrated positions in companies where Stripe's market infrastructure provides a distinct information edge.

The wealth originates from the Collison brothers' founding equity in Stripe, the payments platform valued at over $95 billion during the 2021 venture cycle, supplemented by the proceeds of early employees who liquidated secondary shares.

It is structured primarily as a single family office for the Collison family and a tight network of early Stripe executives. It does not publicly solicit outside capital and operates as a private investment vehicle.

The firm's publicly observable positions show no exposure to traditional energy, defense contracting, or consumer-packaged goods, consistent with a mandate focused on software and financial infrastructure.
